Patient's question:
For the past few days, I've been experiencing a constant heavy feeling in my lower abdomen, along with severe pain that sometimes feels like being pricked with needles. After visiting the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with cervicitis. The doctor prescribed medication, but also emphasized that diet is very important during this time. I'm not sure what specific dietary precautions I should take.Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering the situation you mentioned, when the cervix is infected, it forms cervical inflammation, which is one of the common and frequently occurring gynecological diseases among women of childbearing age. It is divided into acute and chronic types. The treatment for cervical inflammation involves maintaining external genital cleanliness, frequently using potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths, frequently changing underwear, and temporarily avoiding sexual intercourse and tub baths after medication. For those with excessive mucus, baking soda can be used for cleaning. Patients with this disease should not smoke, drink alcohol, or consume spicy or irritating foods. In terms of diet, it is advisable to maintain a light and nutritious diet, exercise regularly, and keep both physical and mental health in good condition.
