Patient's question:
I am already a mom now, and the baby is 6 months old. Here, it is required to have an IUD inserted. During the process of inserting the IUD, a careful examination revealed cervical inflammation. The hospital refused to insert the IUD, stating that the inflammation must be completely eliminated first. I am quite puzzled and would like to ask what are the causes of cervical inflammation?Doctor's answer:
It is likely that the main cause is an infection acquired during childbirth. On a daily basis, it is important to clean the external genitalia before taking a nap in the afternoon, but avoid excessive washing of the vagina to prevent disrupting the pH balance. Before sexual activity, both partners should clean their genital areas together. In addition, during the treatment of cervical inflammation, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of cervical inflammation.
