Patient's question:
I felt lower abdominal pain a few weeks ago and went for a check-up. It was said that I have cervicitis. I'd like to ask what are the symptoms?Doctor's answer:
The main symptom of chronic cervical inflammation is an increase in abnormal vaginal discharge, which can be creamy, mucous-like, pale yellow purulent, or bloody. The amount, color, odor, and consistency of the discharge are related to the pathogenic bacteria and the severity of the inflammation. When the inflammation spreads downward to the pelvic cavity, patients may experience symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, and pain in the waist and sacral region. It is not advisable to take anti-inflammatory drugs for a long time, as this can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, potentially causing more severe inflammation. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatments, which will not cause drug resistance and will yield better therapeutic effects.
