Patient's question:
I am 22 years old and haven't had my period for 8 days. My discharge has increased, and it's definitely not pregnancy. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
This is caused by cervicitis. Chronic cervicitis is one of the common clinical diagnoses. The incidence rate increases significantly with age. Married women generally do not contract this condition. Proper exercise, balanced nutrition, and the use of immune-boosting medications can be helpful. Pay attention to hygiene during sexual activity, appropriately control sexual activity, and strictly avoid extramarital sex and sexual intercourse during menstruation. Timely and effective use of contraception can reduce the incidence of induced abortion, thereby reducing the opportunities for artificial psychological trauma and bacterial infection. For patients, if there is an increase in leukorrhea and the condition worsens, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with appropriate medication. Otherwise, it may lead to recurrent leukorrhea. Additionally, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care. It is hoped that the answers to these questions can assist everyone.
