Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have itching in my external genitalia and a bloated, painful lower abdomen. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with cervical inflammation. I would like to know what tests are done to confirm cervical inflammation.Doctor's answer:
Hello, for cervical inflammation, you can go to the hospital for a gynecological examination and colposcopy, which can be detected and will not lead to misdiagnosis, with high accuracy. Cervical inflammation includes cervical cysts, cervical polyps, cervical erosion, and cervical hypertrophy. During a gynecological examination or colposcopy, these types of inflammation can be clearly diagnosed. If the inflammation is mild, local medication inside the vagina can be used, and you can apply the medication yourself at home. If the inflammation is severe, or if there is an acute exacerbation of chronic inflammation or acute cervical inflammation, you must go to the hospital for treatment and use anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
