Patient's question:
Recently, my lower back pain has been very severe, and besides the odor in my lower body, my mental state is also not good. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I have cervicitis. The doctor prescribed medication for me, but it hasn't been very effective. I'm very worried and would like to ask how to treat cervicitis?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is important to maintain clean external genitalia, frequently use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths, and change underwear frequently. After medication, sexual intercourse and tub baths are strictly prohibited for a temporary period. For those with excessive discharge, a 3% to 4% baking soda solution can be used for cleaning. 5% potassium dichromate and 20% to 40% silver nitrate can also be used.Physical therapy: electrocautery, cryotherapy, laser, microwave, and other treatments can be employed. For patients, if cervical inflammation is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, cervical inflammation may recur. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood.
