Patient's question:
I recently had abnormal leukorrhea, which was yellow in color, with a lot of mucus and a bad odor. Later, I heard from a colleague that it might be a gynecological disease, especially cervical inflammation, as the symptoms are similar. However, many different gynecological diseases can have these symptoms, so it's hard to say whether it is cervical inflammation.Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of cervical inflammation are primarily increased vaginal discharge, which is purulent, or abnormal bleeding such as intermenstrual bleeding, postcoital bleeding, etc. It is often accompanied by lower back pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen. Gynecological examination reveals redness and swelling of the cervix, everted cervical mucosa, and tenderness of the cervix. If the infection spreads along the cervical lymphatic vessels to surrounding areas, it may lead to cervical epithelial shedding or even the formation of ulcers. For severe cases of cervical inflammation, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
