Patient's question:
I am 28 years old. When I have sex with my husband, I sometimes feel a little pain in my abdomen, a bit dryness in my vagina, and some itching in my private area. After sex, I always clean up properly, and I pay attention to personal hygiene. Is this a symptom of cervical inflammation in women? I want to go to the hospital for a check-up. What are the symptoms of cervical inflammation in women?Doctor's answer:
Roommate has stomach pain, vaginal dryness, and itching, which may be caused by vaginitis. Cervicitis usually causes abnormal discharge, continuous increase, and lower abdominal pain. It can be confirmed through a gynecological examination and a cervical smear test to determine the cause of the infection. If the cervicitis is caused by Mycoplasma infection, macrolide antibiotics are needed. If it is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, penicillin-class or cephalosporin-class antibiotics should be used for treatment. Patients face the harm of cervicitis, and we should actively implement careful examination and treatment, without avoiding medical visits. If cervicitis does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
