Patient's question:
My wife has recently been coming home very late at night, always saying she has things to do at night. Moreover, she doesn't let me touch her anymore. Today, I noticed her taking medicine by herself. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me she had a gynecological disease, saying it was full cervical inflammation. I questioned if she had a sexually transmitted disease, wondering if chronic cervical inflammation is a sexually transmitted disease?Doctor's answer:
Chronic cervicitis is a gynecological inflammation caused by, generally, women who have sexual activity are relatively more prone to contracting the inflammation due to the lack of protection from the hymen. The main transmission route of genital warts is sexual activity, but it is not a sexually transmitted disease. Cervicitis patients can, while understanding and treating symptoms, use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge drink.
