Patient's question:
Four months ago, I had an abortion surgery. A month ago, I had sexual intercourse with my husband, and suddenly I experienced vaginal bleeding. I thought it was because the abortion hadn't fully healed, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said I had cervical inflammation and prescribed medication for me. However, recently I've been experiencing lower back pain. Is this caused by the cervical inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis may cause lower back pain, but lower back pain is not necessarily caused by cervicitis. In addition to actively treating lower back pain caused by cervicitis, lower back pain could also be caused by other factors, which should not be ignored. For women, factors such as cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, gynecological tumors, uterine prolapse, and sequelae after contraceptive surgery can all lead to lower back pain. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination to identify and treat any other underlying conditions. In fact, having cervicitis is not (terrible); patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated appropriately, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
