Patient's question:
Women together must talk about men, and they also talk about their own women's affairs. That day, while chatting with a few close friends in a bar, we discussed the topic of women's diseases. I wanted to ask what the difference is between vaginitis and cervicitis?Doctor's answer:
This is two completely different diseases with different inflamed areas and characteristics. Clinical symptoms of cervicitis: increased vaginal discharge. Due to different pathogens, inflammation range, and severity, the discharge can be milky and mucous-like, pale yellow purulent, sometimes bloody, or post-coital bleeding. Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vaginal mucosa and submucosal connective tissue, a common disease in gynecology clinics. For severe vaginitis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid switching medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
