Patient's question:
Last year, when I had a thorough check-up, it was said that I had cervicitis, but my menstruation had always been normal. So, I didn't pay much attention to it. However, this month, my menstruation is very abnormal—dark blood, a small amount, some mild abdominal pain, and also soreness in the lower back. During this period, my vaginal discharge is also a bit, slightly yellow, and has a very foul smell. I'm very sad.Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is primarily characterized by an increase in leukorrhea, changes in color and odor, and the reappearance of bloody leukorrhea with erosion. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity, symptoms such as lower back and sacral pain, pelvic heaviness, and dysmenorrhea may occur. Generally, menstruation is not affected by cervicitis, but some women may experience poor flow of menstrual blood due to cervical adhesion. Neuroendocrine dysfunction, organic inflammation, or medication can also lead to menstrual disorders in some women. In addition, factors such as diet, emotions, and cold may cause menstrual irregularities.There are several treatment methods for cervicitis, but the specific approach depends on the patient's symptoms. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
