Patient's question:
Last week, abnormal white discharge was detected by the hospital, revealing bacterial and fungal vaginitis with a positive Mycoplasma test, as well as chronic cervical inflammation.Doctor's answer:
Hello, Mycoplasma infection in women is commonly characterized by a reproductive system inflammation that spreads from the cervix. Most cases show no obvious symptoms, while a few severe patients may experience a sensation of vaginal discharge. When the infection spreads to the urethra, frequent urination and urgency are the primary symptoms that attract the patient's attention. If the infection is localized to the cervix, it may manifest as increased vaginal discharge, turbidity, cervical edema, congestion, or surface erosion. When the infection spreads to the urethra, it may present as redness and congestion at the urethral orifice, with a small amount of secretions leaking out when the urethra is compressed, though pain is rarely present. Common complications of Mycoplasma infection include salpingitis, while a few patients may develop endometritis or pelvic inflammatory disease.However, chronic cervicitis has many types, including cervical erosion, cervical polyps, endocervicitis, and cervical hypertrophy. These are different conditions with distinct treatments, causes, and severity levels, requiring different medications and dosages. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a detailed examination to determine the specific type of inflammation and then receive targeted treatment. Avoid self-medication and pay attention to personal hygiene during treatment. Refrain from sexual activity to prevent cross-infection.
