Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What are the common treatments for cervical inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Increased leukorrhea is the most common, and sometimes even the only, symptom of acute cervicitis. The leukorrhea may be purulent or mixed with blood, often accompanied by lower back pain and a sense of heaviness in the lower abdomen. At times, the external genitalia may become itchy, irritated, or cause urinary symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency due to irritation from inflammatory secretions. In very few cases, patients may experience pain during intercourse or a drop in body temperature. Some individuals with acute cervicitis may not exhibit obvious symptoms, making the condition easily overlooked and potentially progressing to chronic cervicitis. In addition to receiving proper medical treatment for cervicitis, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as maintaining a balanced diet and keeping a positive mood.
