Patient's question:
I have been itchy recently and have also had abnormal discharge, so I went to the gynecologist who said it was chronic cervicitis. I'd like to understand the difference between acute cervicitis and chronic cervicitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described: Acute cervicitis and chronic cervicitis are both common gynecological diseases. Acute cervicitis refers to the recurrence of acute inflammation of the cervix, characterized by local congestion and edema. It can be caused by various pathogens, possibly due to physical or chemical factors, foreign bodies in the cervix, or associated infections. If there is a urinary tract infection, it may lead to symptoms such as difficulty urinating and dysuria. It is primarily treated with antibiotic medications.
