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 my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what are the common treatments for cervicitis?Doctor's answer:
Increased leukorrhea is the most common, and sometimes even the only, symptom of acute cervicitis. The leukorrhea is 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 be irritated by inflammatory secretions, leading to itching, a burning sensation, and urinary symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. 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 often 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.
