Patient's question:
If my condition is cervical inflammation, how can it be treated? How can cervical inflammation be suspected? Will there also be bleeding symptoms during ovulation? Is there a connection between the bleeding I mentioned and going ice skating right after my period?Doctor's answer:
Chronic cervicitis is one of the most common diseases among women. It often evolves from acute cervicitis and is more prevalent in unmarried and physically frail women. The cause is usually due to damage to the cervix during sexual activity or childbirth, allowing bacteria to infiltrate and cause the illness. Increased vaginal discharge is its main symptom, typically appearing as viscous or purulent mucus, sometimes with blood or hematuria during intercourse. Secondary symptoms include vulvar itching, lower abdominal or lumbosacral pain, which may worsen during intercourse, menstruation, or defecation. Treatment is primarily local, such as cervical electrocautery, laser therapy, cryotherapy, or the use of corrosive agents (e.g., chromic acid, potassium permanganate).
