Patient's question:
Does cervical inflammation cause cervical cancer? For treatment, are there any quick-acting medications?Doctor's answer:
Cervical inflammation, if not treated promptly, can cause significant harm to women, mainly including:1. Leading to cervical cancer—Statistics show that women with cervical inflammation have a 10 times higher incidence of cervical cancer compared to those without it. Chronic, untreated, or persistent cervical inflammation is believed to be a contributing factor to the development of cervical cancer.
2. Causing infertility—Approximately 20% to 25% of patients with excessive vaginal discharge are caused by cervical inflammation. If the inflammation results in viscous, purulent cervical mucus, it may hinder sperm passage through the cervical canal, leading to infertility.
3. Causing miscarriage—Cervical inflammation is also a cause of miscarriage, as it can alter the cervix's shape, increase elasticity, and disrupt the labor process, ultimately resulting in miscarriage.
