Patient's question:
I have recently experienced an increase in leukorrhea, which is milky white, mucous-like, or mixed with blood streaks, or bleeding during intercourse, accompanied by vulvar itching, lower back and sacral pain, and a softened menstrual period. Because I felt upset, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, which confirmed that I had cervical inflammation.What assistance I need: What preventive measures are there for cervical inflammation?
Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is caused by infection, which may be triggered by damage resulting from exposure during sexual intercourse, childbirth, or miscarriage. Additionally, it could be caused by unclean sexual practices or hormonal imbalances leading to a decrease in estrogen. To prevent cervicitis, it is essential to maintain cleanliness in the perineal area, particularly during childbirth or miscarriage to prevent infection. Furthermore, sexual activity can easily introduce pathogens, so it is important to ensure the cleanliness of sexual practices and avoid excessive frequency.
