The best time to check for cervical inflammation is how many days after the menstrual period?

Patient's question:

I have had cervical inflammation for 6 years. In the first half of the year, a thorough examination revealed second-degree inflammation. Now I want to change medication and seek treatment at the hospital!

Doctor's answer:

This is generally performed 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends. Cervicitis is one of the common gynecological diseases, and the vast majority of cases occur in women who have had sexual activity. Cervicitis is divided into acute and chronic types. Acute cervicitis often coexists with acute endometritis or acute vaginitis, but chronic cervicitis is more common. 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 postcoital bleeding. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity, it may lead to lower back pain, lower abdominal fullness, and dysmenorrhea.
