Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed some sudden white discharge, and it has a mucous-like appearance. Every time my period comes, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain with a sense of fullness and pressure. The day before yesterday, I asked a doctor, and he said I have chronic cervicitis. I wonder what are the symptoms of chronic cervicitis?Doctor's answer:
The main symptom of chronic cervicitis is an increase in leukorrhea. Leukorrhea appears as creamy, mucous-like discharge, sometimes yellow or purulent. When polyps are present, it may cause bloody leukorrhea or bleeding after masturbation. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity, it can lead to lower back pain, lower abdominal discomfort, and dysmenorrhea. These symptoms may worsen before and after menstruation, during bowel movements, and after masturbation. Chronic cervicitis is a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia, change underwear frequently, and wish female patients a speedy recovery.
