Patient's question:
I initially felt some vaginal itching, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I had cervical inflammation. At first, I thought it was vaginal inflammation. What exactly is the difference between cervical inflammation and vaginal inflammation? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis refers to an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa caused by a secondary infection, primarily characterized by increased vaginal discharge, itching, and odor in clinical diagnosis. Cervicitis refers to inflammatory changes in the cervix, often occurring concurrently with vaginitis, and is also manifested by increased vaginal discharge and itching, but may be accompanied by contact pain or peeling. It poses significant harm to women's health. Currently, treatment methods should be determined based on the severity of cervicitis, including medication or physical surgery.
