Patient's question:
What are the causes of cervicitis? Is it serious? What are the consequences if it is left untreated? How effective is medication?Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is a common disease among women of childbearing age, with two types: acute and chronic. Acute cervicitis often occurs concurrently with acute endometritis or acute vaginitis, but chronic cervicitis is more prevalent. The main symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, which is thick and mucous or purulent in nature, sometimes accompanied by streaks of blood or mixed with blood. Long-term chronic mechanical irritation is the primary cause of cervicitis. In addition to medication for treating cervicitis, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also choose a professional hospital for diagnosis to ensure effective treatment.
