Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, for several consecutive weeks, the amount of menstruation has significantly increased, and there is a bad odor. After checking at the hospital, it was diagnosed as moderate cervical inflammation, and she is very worried. Please ask what causes acute cervical inflammation?Doctor's answer:
The main causes of acute cervicitis are as follows:1. Mechanical irritation or injury: Secondary infection following cervical laceration during childbirth or miscarriage is a common cause of acute cervicitis. If sexual activity is too frequent, it increases the risk of cervical infection.
2. Foreign bodies in the vagina: If gauze, cotton balls, or other foreign objects are left in the vagina for an extended period, it can easily lead to infection, thereby causing acute cervicitis.
3. Vaginal inflammation: Acute trichomoniasis, candidiasis, or bacterial vaginosis may simultaneously cause acute cervicitis. During gonococcal transmission, acute gonococcal cervicitis is also commonly observed.
