Patient's question:
Last year, I had an abortion. This year, I was diagnosed with cervical inflammation. Currently, my vaginal discharge is abnormal, but I have no other symptoms. What symptoms can cervical inflammation cause?Doctor's answer:
Mainly characterized by increased leukorrhea, which is purulent, or abnormal bleeding such as intermenstrual bleeding, postcoital bleeding, etc. It is often accompanied by lower back pain and lower abdominal discomfort. Gynecological examination reveals redness and swelling of the cervix, cervical mucosal eversion, and tenderness of the cervix. If the infection spreads along the cervical lymphatic vessels to surrounding areas, it can lead to cervical epithelial shedding, even forming ulcers. The primary treatment is with antibiotics. For identified pathogens, the appropriate antibiotic is determined based on the pathogen. Empirical treatment should include the treatment of various potential pathogens, including aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, chlamydia (and/or gonorrhea), mycoplasma, etc.
