Patient's question:
I have had cervical inflammation for a long time. The treatment has not been very effective. I would like to ask what are the common causes of cervical inflammation. How can I treat it to get better completely? I have always paid close attention to external genital hygiene, so how could I get this disease? Is it due to bacterial infection?Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is divided into two types: acute and chronic. Clinically, chronic cervicitis is more common. The main manifestations include increased vaginal discharge, which is viscous and mucous or purulent in nature, sometimes accompanied by streaks of blood or mixed with blood. Long-term chronic mechanical irritation is the main trigger for cervicitis. Factors such as frequent sexual activity, miscarriage, childbirth, and induced abortion can damage the cervix, leading to bacterial invasion and inflammation. It may also be caused by direct infection with pyogenic bacteria, or by rinsing the vagina with highly concentrated acidic or alkaline solutions, or by the infection resulting from foreign objects placed or left inside the vagina.
