Patient's question:
My best friend is 30 years old this year. These days, she told me that her vaginal discharge is abnormal and she has some itching in her private area. After a thorough examination at the hospital, she was found to have cervicitis. She is very upset and has been crying to me for help. I feel very sympathetic towards her.How can cervicitis be effectively treated?
Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis can be acute or chronic. Acute infections are primarily treated with effective antibiotics targeting the pathogens. Chronic cervicitis has various manifestations, including cervical polyps, cervical hypertrophy, and changes resembling cervical erosion. If there is a continuous increase in secretions, polyps can be removed; otherwise, no treatment is necessary. If secretions continue to increase, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory agents can be administered, and local physical methods can be used for treatment.In addition, during the treatment of cervicitis, patients must not only take medication but also pay attention to their dietary condition and psychological state, which are equally important. It is essential to prevent excessive mental stress and anxiety.
