Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, has been experiencing severe and increasing leukorrhea with a bad odor for a while. She also has lower abdominal swelling and pain. A gynecological examination revealed cervicitis. What is moderate cervicitis?Doctor's answer:
It is a very common gynecological disease, where inflammation occurs in the cervix, which has two types: acute and chronic. The occurrence of cervical inflammation is related to sexual activity. Natural or induced abortion, diagnostic curettage, and labor can all cause cervical injury, leading to inflammation. Adult women should pay attention to breastfeeding, prevent or reduce induced abortion procedures, and pay attention to postpartum hygiene to prevent postpartum infections. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal, top-tier hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations based on their own condition to receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
