Patient's question:
Hello teacher:I had an abortion without anesthesia in March 2004. By July, I developed moderate cervical erosion, but I didn’t pay much attention, thinking it wasn’t very serious. In November 2005, I got a check-up at a private hospital, where the doctor told me I had 3-degree cervical erosion, along with vaginitis and pelvic inflammation, which really scared me. So, I received some treatment at that hospital (intravenous fluids for 4 days and one microwave treatment), but because it wasn’t very convenient, I eventually gave up. Recently, I went to a well-known hospital in my city for a follow-up check-up, and the doctor told me it was chronic cervical inflammation, which can be treated by
Doctor's answer:
Chronic cervicitis is one of the various damages that the cervix can suffer from. It is often characterized by an increase in leukorrhea, making it thick and purulent, or even causing a sense of heaviness and distension in the lower waist and abdomen. Moreover, it can worsen before menstruation, during bowel movements, and during sexual intercourse. Additionally, it can lead to accompanying symptoms such as cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical hypertrophy, and cervical cysts. The cervix serves as a crucial barrier preventing pathogenic microorganisms from entering the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Therefore, the cervix is easily susceptible to various pathogenic factors, leading to inflammation.
