Patient's question:
Papillary chronic cervicitis with squamous epithelial metaplasia, previously treated with a cervical surgery LEEP procedure. The condition has now recurred, and the doctor says it is quite severe. How should it be treated now?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 childbearing age. It is divided into acute and chronic types. Clinical diagnosis is more common for chronic cervical inflammation, with main symptoms including increased vaginal discharge, which may be milky white, mucous-like, or mixed with blood streaks, or bleeding during intercourse, accompanied by external genital itching, lower back and sacral pain, and milder menstrual cramps. 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.
