Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling pain in my cervix. Besides increased vaginal discharge, it persisted for a week, and I couldn't take it anymore, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor told me I had cervicitis. I was quite upset—my daily habits weren't particularly bad, and I paid attention to personal hygiene, so how could I get cervicitis?What kind of help is needed: What should I do if I have acute cervicitis?
Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is one of the most common gynecological diseases in women, classified as acute or chronic. Cervical erosion is the most common local feature during the inflammatory process of chronic cervicitis. Due to being flushed by inflammatory secretions, the squamous epithelium of the cervix peels off and is replaced by columnar epithelium from the cervical canal, which manifests as cervical erosion. It is recommended that you choose a formal and professional hospital for infertility and sterility for further detailed examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary restrictions, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, quitting smoking and alcohol, drinking more water, and preventing the recurrence of these triggers. Additionally, exercise regularly.
