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 are the treatment methods for cervical inflammation in hospitals?Doctor's answer:
Chronic cervical inflammation falls under the category of "Lei Xia Bing" (discharge diseases) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) gynecology. This condition can be divided into three types: spleen deficiency, kidney deficiency, and damp-heat. TCM treatment for chronic cervical inflammation employs a combination of internal and external therapies. Internal treatment involves syndrome differentiation and treatment based on the specific type, while external treatment includes local medication, steam bathing, and vaginal irrigation. Long-term use of sanitary pads. Many women believe that using sanitary pads can prevent direct contact between the vulva and underwear, thereby maintaining a clean vaginal environment. This is a very mistaken idea, as long-term use of sanitary pads can easily lead to poor ventilation in the vulvar area, increasing the risk of infection. Therefore, it is recommended to use sanitary pads only for a short period when the menstrual period is about to end or is approaching.
