Patient's question:
After giving birth, I got an IUD inserted a year later. Since then, I've been experiencing constant lower abdominal pain. When I went to the hospital, the doctor said I wasn't suitable for an IUD and that I already had cervical inflammation, though it was only mild at the time. However, later tests showed it had worsened. Can cervical inflammation be cured?Doctor's answer:
Chronic cervicitis is often a result of acute cervicitis. The manifestations include 1 cervical erosion, 2 cervical hypertrophy, 3 cervical polyps, 4 cervical glandular cysts, and 5 cervical mucosal inflammation. Currently, the main treatments are physical therapy, medication, and surgical intervention.When the seasons change or it's particularly cold, the lower abdomen becomes uncomfortable. Sometimes there is excessive vaginal discharge, and at times it may contain blood streaks. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination, as this could indicate the presence of polyps. In such cases, surgical treatment is the most ideal approach.
For patients with cervicitis, daily treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic relief. Patients can take oral medications and supplement with vitamins. Additionally, it is important to follow a diet that includes light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods.
