Patient's question:
I had the "ThinPrep" membrane-based thin prep cytology test last week. The preliminary result for squamous epithelial cells is: no cancer cells and intraepithelial inflammatory cells---inflammation---moderate cellularity >40% endocervical cell inflammatory cells---moderate. The report opinion: reactive inflammatory cell changes.I would like to know how this represents cervical inflammation with moderate severity. The doctor who examined me only prescribed a box of Aprost and a box of sodium dehydrothymidine suppositories. How can I be cured after finishing these medications, and do I need to be rechecked? How do these medications work?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, cervical inflammation, moderate degree: re-examination after treatment course. Generally, it is recommended to conceive three months after the condition is cured. Chronic cervical inflammation is caused by long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, so attention should be paid to hygiene, and the external genitalia should be kept clean to prevent pathogens from entering. Good contraceptive measures should be adopted to minimize mechanical damage to the cervix caused by multiple induced abortions. At the same time, gynecological surgery should be performed by experienced doctors, with sterile, gentle operation to prevent iatrogenic infection and injury. During menstruation and postpartum, sexual intercourse should be avoided to prevent pathogens from entering. During the treatment of chronic cervical inflammation, sexual intercourse should be prohibited. Local medication should be stopped during menstruation. During treatment, spicy and greasy foods should be avoided to prevent lingering damp-heat and recurrent symptoms.
