Patient's question:
I am 27 years old this year. In the past few days, when I wash my underwear, I always find a lot of curd-like secretions on them, and they smell very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable. Please ask: How is cervical inflammation best treated?Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is a common disease among women of childbearing age, with two types: acute and chronic. Acute cervicitis often occurs concurrently with acute endometritis or acute vaginitis, but chronic cervicitis is more prevalent. The main symptoms include an increase in leukorrhea, which appears as viscous mucus or purulent mucus, sometimes accompanied by blood streaks or mixed with blood streaks. Long-term chronic mechanical irritation is the primary trigger for cervicitis. In addition to treatment, patients need to maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, consume light and soft foods in daily diet, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water. A healthy lifestyle also helps in preventing the occurrence of the disease.
