Patient's question:
I am 24 years old. There was once a case of broken skin during sexual activity. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with chronic cervicitis. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of chronic cervicitis?Doctor's answer:
Leukorrhea increase is sometimes the only symptom of chronic cervical inflammation. It is usually viscous mucus or purulent mucus. Sometimes the discharge may contain streaks of blood or a very small amount of blood, or there may be contact bleeding. Due to the irritation of leukorrhea, vulvar itching may occur. Pain in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region often appears, sometimes pain may also appear in the upper abdomen, thighs, and hip joints, worsening during menstruation, defecation, or sexual activity. Especially when inflammation spreads backward along the uterosacral ligaments or extends along the base of the broad ligaments, forming chronic parametritis, or when the main ligaments of the cervix thicken, the pain becomes more severe. Every time the cervix is touched, it immediately causes pain in the iliac fossa and lumbosacral region, and some patients may even experience nausea, interfering with sexual life.
