Patient's question:
I have experienced abnormal vaginal discharge again this past year, and I also feel lower abdominal pain and back pain. Previously, even before my period, I would never have such symptoms. I don't know what's going on. My friend said it might be cervical inflammation. What are the causes of cervical inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is divided into acute cervicitis and chronic cervicitis. The causes of acute cervicitis may be due to multiple pathogens, or it may be caused by physical factors, chemical factors, mechanical cervical injury, or infections associated with cervical foreign bodies. The pathogens that cause acute cervical inflammation include Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, and other sexually transmitted disease pathogens. In some cases, the pathogen is unclear. The pathogens of chronic cervicitis are similar to those of acute cervicitis, and chronic cervicitis can also result from the persistence of acute cervicitis.
