Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, for the past few months, I have been experiencing abdominal bloating and pain, and abnormal vaginal discharge with a bad odor, which has seriously affected my normal life. What are the common symptoms of acute cervicitis?Doctor's answer:
Increased leukorrhea is the most common, sometimes even the only, symptom of acute cervicitis, often appearing purulent. Since cervicitis is frequently accompanied by urethritis, cystitis, or acute vaginitis and acute endometritis, other symptoms of cervicitis, such as varying degrees of lower abdominal and lumbosacral discomfort or bladder irritation, are often masked. In acute gonococcal cervicitis, fever and leukocytosis may occur to varying degrees. It is important to maintain good hygiene, frequently rinse with clean water, and pay attention to nutrition. Avoid using self-prescribed cleaning solutions or medications; medication must be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
