What is acute cervicitis?

Patient's question:

I am 29 years old and have never been pregnant. One month ago, my leukorrhea turned yellow and purulent. I used Ping An Ye and Da Qing Ning by myself, and the symptoms improved. I went to the hospital to check my leukorrhea, and the results showed no bacteria. Then I had a colposcopy, and the doctor said I had acute cervicitis. He prescribed Meikangpa and Wansining.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the cervix is the channel that connects the vagina to the uterus and also serves as an important defense line against pathogens invading the uterine cavity. Under normal circumstances, the cervix secretes viscous mucus to form a mucus plug, resisting the invasion of pathogens into the uterine cavity. However, when the body's resistance declines, or when cervical secretions increase due to various factors, the external part of the cervix is exposed to secretions for a long time, making it more susceptible to pathogen infection, which can lead to cervical inflammation.
Cervical inflammation is one of the most common gynecological diseases among women, affecting more than half of them. Cervical inflammation is classified as acute or chronic. Acute cervical inflammation often occurs after childbirth or concurrently with acute pelvic inflammatory disease and is often overlooked.
