Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what symptoms are associated with cervical inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is a common disease among women of childbearing age, with two types: acute and chronic. Acute cervicitis often coexists with acute endometritis or acute vaginitis, but chronic cervicitis is more common. The main symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, which is thick and mucous or purulent in nature, sometimes accompanied by streaks of blood or mixed with blood. Acute cervicitis primarily manifests as increased purulent vaginal discharge, accompanied by lower back pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen. Chronic cervicitis is characterized by increased vaginal discharge, which is milky white, mucous, or mixed with streaks of blood, or bleeding during intercourse, accompanied by vulvar itching, lower back and sacral pain, which alleviate during menstruation. There are many treatment methods for cervicitis, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach also differs. Therefore, patients need timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
