Patient's question:
After giving birth, I've been experiencing discomfort down there, and I've had a lot of yellow discharge with itching in the outer vaginal area. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I not only had vaginitis but also cervical inflammation.What assistance would you like: What are the symptoms of cervical inflammation?
Doctor's answer:
Acute cervicitis is primarily characterized by an increase in vaginal discharge, which is mucopurulent. The irritation caused by vaginal discharge can lead to itching and a burning sensation in the external genitalia. Symptoms may include dyspareunia (pain during intercourse) and lower abdominal pain. Chronic cervicitis is commonly associated with pain in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region, which worsens during menstruation or bowel movements and may also cause dyspareunia. In some cases, an increased amount of leukorrhea (vaginal discharge) may be the only symptom, appearing pale yellow and sometimes containing blood streaks or leading to contact bleeding.
