Patient's question:
Last year, I had an abortion. This year, I was checked for cervicitis, and currently, my vaginal discharge is abnormal, with no other symptoms. How should I best treat cervicitis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic cervicitis presents with creamy, mucous-like discharge or pale yellow purulent discharge; in cases of severe cervical erosion or cervical polyps, the discharge may be bloody or post-coital bleeding. Mild cases may be asymptomatic, but when the inflammation spreads along the uterosacral ligaments to the pelvic cavity, symptoms such as lower back and sacral pain, lower abdominal pressure, and dysmenorrhea may occur, which are often relieved during defecation or sexual intercourse. Physical therapy for cervical inflammation is recommended for patients with relatively obvious inflammation or when medication cannot completely resolve the condition. Since some cervical inflammatory conditions require physical therapy to heal, it is essential to maintain external genital hygiene after the procedure. and vaginal douching should be avoided for 4 to 8 weeks post-treatment.
