Patient's question:
Is leukorrhea increase a common symptom of cervicitis? Recent contact bleeding, prolonged menstruation, and continuously increasing menstrual volume. In addition to continuously increasing vaginal discharge, which is white or bloody with a foul odor. Are these symptoms correct? I need to know how to treat them.Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis primarily manifests as congestion and edema of the cervix, everted cervical canal mucosa, and the presence of large amounts of purulent secretions overflowing from the cervical canal. Pathological sections reveal extensive infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and lymphocytes in the mucosa and stroma. The inflammation can also affect the lumens of the glands through epithelial damage, leading to epithelial shedding, expansion of the lumen, and filling with large amounts of purulent secretions.For mild cervicitis, medication-based treatment is recommended. After dilating the vagina with a dilator, appropriate medications are administered to inject and scrub the cervix. Through the scrubbing action, inflamed cells in the cervix and vagina can be effectively removed, making it difficult for bacteria to adapt and allowing normal epithelial tissue to regenerate. For patients with mild conditions, a favorable outcome can often be achieved after a period of treatment.
