Patient's question:
Female, 55 years old, recently experiencing increased vaginal discharge, which is mucopurulent in nature, sometimes bloody or mixed with blood streaks. After examination, it was diagnosed as cervical inflammation. Please ask if the cervical screening for HPV virus indicates chronic cervical inflammation and what treatment is recommended.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Does the patient usually experience increased vaginal discharge or post-coital bleeding? Have they undergone a cervical liquid-based cytology test and an HR-HPV test? The pathological diagnosis suggests cervical HPV infection, with local low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, which can be treated with medication before retesting. Women should maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, avoid exposure to irritants, and wash more frequently during hot weather or menstruation. Change underwear daily and wash with warm water.
