Patient's question:
Two days ago, I had an abortion, and on the day it was done and the third day, I felt that I had recovered very well. The bleeding only lasted a little bit and then stopped. In the afternoon of the third day, intermittent pain started in my right lower abdomen. Before this, I had experienced emotional distress due to some family issues, and I cried for a long time. After I finished crying, the pain started. I have mild cervical inflammation. Please help me understand what might be causing the pain?Doctor's answer:
Hello, when the cervix is infected, it constitutes cervical inflammation, which is one of the common and frequently occurring gynecological diseases among women of childbearing age. It is divided into acute and chronic types. Clinical diagnosis is more common with chronic cervical inflammation, with the main symptoms including increased vaginal discharge, which may be milky white, mucous-like, or mixed with blood streaks, or bleeding during masturbation, accompanied by external genital itching, lumbosacral pain, and relief during menstruation. Chronic cervical inflammation is often a result of inadequate treatment for acute cervical inflammation, with the pathogen hiding within the cervical mucosa, leading to chronic inflammation. Its local manifestations include various different conditions, such as cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, endocervicitis, cervical glandular cysts, cervical laceration, and eversion, among which cervical erosion is the most common.
