Patient's question:
This week, I have been feeling a bit unusual in my body, and I have also noticed that my urination has become particularly frequent. Sometimes, I also feel some abdominal pain. In recent days, my leukorrhea has been getting more and more. The doctor said I have mild cervical inflammation. How can cervical inflammation be prevented?Doctor's answer:
The main symptom of cervicitis is an increase in vaginal discharge. Acute cervicitis presents with purulent vaginal discharge, accompanied by lower abdominal and sacral pain, or urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. Chronic cervicitis is characterized by creamy, mucous-like vaginal discharge or pale yellow purulent discharge. In cases of severe cervical erosion or cervical polyps, the discharge may be bloody or post-coital bleeding. Mild cases may have no systemic symptoms, but when the inflammation spreads along the uterosacral ligaments to the pelvic cavity, it can cause lower back and sacral pain, lower abdominal pressure, and dysmenorrhea, which worsen during bowel movements or sexual activity. Cervicitis is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment and follow their doctor's recommendations for symptomatic relief. Additionally, proper self-care, including a balanced diet, is important to avoid worsening the condition.
