Doctor's answer:
Hello:Based on the information, cervical inflammation can be considered. Acute cervical inflammation is not very common, but the symptoms are prominent once the condition occurs. Active treatment should be initiated to prevent it from becoming chronic or causing retrograde infection leading to endometritis or even pelvic inflammation.
Western medicine primarily focuses on local treatment for this condition. Acute cervical inflammation is usually caused by purulent bacteria. Sulfonamide powder or nitrofurantoin can be applied or sprayed in the vagina and on the cervix once daily. If there is also a fungal, trichomoniasis, or gonococcal vaginal infection, the primary condition should be treated first.
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for acute cervical inflammation still involves internal and external methods. Internal treatment is based on syndrome differentiation. The condition is divided into two types: damp-heat type and heat-toxin type.
