Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of cervical inflammation that you have experienced several times? Are symptoms like mine indicative of cervical inflammation or reduced menstrual flow? My vaginal discharge is also very minimal, and I experience vaginal dryness.Doctor's answer:
When the cervix is infected, it constitutes cervical inflammation, which is one of the common and frequently occurring gynecological diseases among women of reproductive age. It is classified into acute and chronic forms. Clinical diagnosis is more common for chronic cervical inflammation, with main symptoms including increased vaginal discharge, which appears milky, mucous-like, or mixed with blood streaks, or bleeding during intercourse, accompanied by external genital itching, lower back and sacral pain, and worsening during menstruation. Chronic cervical inflammation is often caused by inadequate treatment of acute cervical inflammation, with pathogens hiding within the cervical mucosa, leading to chronic inflammation. Its local manifestations include various forms such as cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, endocervicitis, cervical glandular cysts, cervical laceration, and eversion, among which cervical erosion is the most common.
