Patient's question:
I used to have my period for 7 days, but later it became once a month, lasting over 20 days. Now, I haven't had my period for 3 months, and occasionally my discharge has streaks of blood. After a thorough examination of my discharge and ultrasound at the hospital, the doctor said I have cervical inflammation. What are the causes of cervical inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Its acute cervical inflammation is mostly caused by cervical damage from sexual activity, miscarriage, childbirth, diagnostic curettage, etc., leading to pathogens invading the damaged areas. If sexually transmitted disease pathogens such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis are also a contributing factor. Chronic cervical inflammation is often a result of acute cervical inflammation persisting, or may be caused by persistent pathogen infection. If cervical inflammation is severe, it may affect fertility, so it is recommended to undergo early examination and diagnosis for timely symptomatic treatment.
