Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, and I have been experiencing lower abdominal pain, infrequent menstruation, and dysmenorrhea recently. It is very painful. My friend said it might be chronic cervical inflammation. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of chronic cervical inflammation?Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of cervical inflammation, such as frequent sexual activity or habitual miscarriage, childbirth, and artificial abortion procedures, which can damage the cervix, leading to bacterial overgrowth and resulting in inflammation. It can also be caused by direct transmission of infectious agents, or by using high-concentration acidic or alkaline solutions to rinse the vagina, or by the introduction or retention of foreign objects in the vagina leading to infection.Symptoms of chronic cervical inflammation include excessive white discharge, which may be milky and mucous-like, or mixed with blood streaks, or bleeding during intercourse, accompanied by external genital itching, lower back and sacral pain, and severe menstrual cramps. In daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and keep a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
