Patient's question:
I have recently experienced an increase in leukorrhea, which is creamy white and mucous-like, or leukorrhea mixed with blood streaks, or bleeding during intercourse, accompanied by vulvar itching and lower back pain. Due to my distress, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, which confirmed that I have cervical inflammation.What assistance I need: What are the common preventive measures for cervical inflammation?
Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is primarily caused by exogenous infections, some of which are sexually transmitted, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, mycoplasma, and trichomoniasis, but there are also non-sexually transmitted cases, such as certain bacterial infections. Therefore, to prevent cervicitis, it is essential to focus on preventing exogenous infections, which means taking measures starting from before marriage. In daily life, personal hygiene should be paid attention to, and a light diet is recommended. It is important to drink plenty of water and eat more fruits and vegetables, while avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
