Patient's question:
Doctor, I went to the hospital last month for a thorough examination, and during the health check-up, the doctor told me that I have chronic cervicitis. I would like to consult you a few things. Is chronic cervicitis serious? Besides this disease, can it be cured? Will it interfere with pregnancy? How long does the treatment usually take to heal?Doctor's answer:
Chronic cervicitis is commonly characterized by an increase in secretions, cervical erosion, Nabothian cysts, and post-coital bleeding, among other symptoms. These can be clearly identified through careful examinations such as gynecological internal exams and colposcopy. If the cervical erosion is severe, regular cervical TCT and HPV tests are necessary to rule out the possibility of cervical cancer. Chronic cervicitis can sometimes heal on its own, but treatment usually requires about three months, though it is prone to recurrence. Simple cervicitis generally has little impact on pregnancy.In addition, during the treatment of cervicitis, besides medication, the patient's dietary habits and mental state are also particularly important. It is essential for patients to maintain a light diet while keeping a cheerful and optimistic mindset.
