Patient's question:
I and my husband have always wanted to have a child right away, but my body isn't cooperative. Recently, I've been suffering from gynecological problems: increased vaginal discharge, accompanied by lower abdominal and lumbar sacral pain, as well as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. After sexual intercourse, there is only a very small amount of peeling, and the color is pink with a faint hue. Does cervical inflammation cause infertility?Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is a common disease among women of childbearing age, classified into acute and chronic cervicitis. It is often caused by cervical injury during childbirth, miscarriage, or surgery, allowing pathogens to enter and spread. Additionally, it is associated with frequent sexual activity, physical or chemical irritation, endometritis, and vaginitis. In clinical diagnosis, chronic cervicitis is more common, often without the manifestations of acute inflammation. Chronic cervicitis has a certain relationship with the development of cervical cancer. Experiments show that the incidence rate of cervical cancer in patients with cervical erosion is 0.75%, significantly lower than in those without cervical erosion. If cervicitis is not treated promptly, it may recur as erosion. Cervicitis poses significant harm to patients.
