Patient's question:
I am 45 years old this year. In January, I was diagnosed with chronic cervical inflammation. The doctor told me it's best to check for HPV to see if it's positive or negative. I want to ask if it's necessary to check for HPV with chronic cervical inflammation. I'm very worried about the results being bad.Doctor's answer:
Chronic cervical inflammation is related to long-term infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. For women over forty, it is advisable to undergo cervical cancer screening every year. This is a national benefit, and community hospitals or primary healthcare facilities actively promote this practice. If you have cervical inflammation, you can consider an HPV test, which costs around 300 yuan, but it is not a mandatory requirement. Additionally, during the treatment of cervical inflammation, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients should pay close attention to their diet, consuming more light and nutritious foods to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you.
