Patient's question:
I have had my period for a week, and in the past two days, I have noticed a significant increase in leukorrhea, which is yellowish-green in color. Last night, when I had sex with my husband, I felt pain in my cervix, and there was some bleeding after intercourse. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor told me that I had acute cervicitis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the hazards of acute cervical inflammation include:1. Leading to miscarriage: Cervical inflammation is also a cause of miscarriage, as it can cause tissue changes and reduce elasticity, making labor difficult and potentially leading to miscarriage.
2. Affecting the quality of sexual life: Severe cervical inflammation can impact the quality of sexual life, causing pain and discomfort for women during intercourse, which may lead to a reluctance to engage in sexual activity.
3. Causing infertility: In patients with excessive vaginal discharge, approximately 20% to 25% are caused by cervical inflammation. If the inflammation results in viscous, purulent cervical mucus, it can hinder sperm passage through the cervical canal, leading to infertility.
4. Inducing cervical cancer: Statistics show that women with cervical inflammation have a 10 times higher incidence of cervical cancer compared to those without it. Chronic, untreated, or long-term, unresolved cervical inflammation is considered a risk factor for cervical cancer.
