Patient's question:
I have been experiencing very painful urination these past few days, and I also have a lot of discharge. Sometimes, apart from the odor, I suspect I might have acute cervicitis. I want to know what symptoms this condition has.What kind of help I need: What are the symptoms of acute cervicitis?
Doctor's answer:
Most patients are asymptomatic. Symptomatic patients primarily exhibit increased vaginal discharge, which is mucopurulent. Inducing secretion discharge can lead to external genital itching and burning sensation. Additionally, symptoms such as intermenstrual bleeding and postcoital bleeding may occur. If it is a urinary tract infection, symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequency, and dysuria may appear. If it is a Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, due to the involvement of paraurethral glands and Bartholin's glands, the urethral orifice and vaginal orifice mucosa may become congested, edematous, and produce thick purulent discharge.
