Patient's question:
Questioning if I have cervical inflammation because my discharge is milky white. It won't be possible to do a gynecological exam to check the cervix for a few days after my period ends. Because the cervix will be flushed with blood right after the period. If the gynecologist says there's nothing wrong with the cervix, then there's no need for a colposcopy, right?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 classified into acute and chronic forms, or may present with symptoms such as postcoital bleeding, external genital itching, lumbosacral pain, and worsening during menstruation. Chronic cervical inflammation is often a result of inadequate treatment of acute cervical inflammation, with pathogens hiding within the cervical mucosa, leading to chronic inflammation. Its local manifestations vary. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treatment, as this will not lead to drug resistance and yields better therapeutic effects. The recommended traditional Chinese medicine is Women's Golden Pill Capsules, which has a significant effect on treating cervical inflammation. It is important to follow the prescribed course of medication. Patients with cervical inflammation can, while undergoing symptomatic treatment, also use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. A balanced diet should be maintained in daily eating habits to avoid stimulating foods.
