Patient's question:
I have recently been experiencing increased vaginal discharge, which also causes external genital itching and a burning sensation. Sometimes, I experience bleeding after sexual intercourse, and I frequently feel the urge to urinate. I went to the hospital for related tests, and the doctor said it was cervical inflammation.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms of acute cervicitis include:1. Most patients are asymptomatic.
2. Symptomatic patients primarily exhibit increased vaginal discharge, which is mucopurulent. The discharge may cause itching and burning sensation in the external genitalia. Additionally, symptoms such as intermenstrual bleeding and postcoital bleeding may occur. If there is a concurrent urinary tract infection, symptoms like urinary urgency, frequency, and dysuria may appear. If the infection is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, due to involvement of the paraurethral glands and Bartholin's glands, the urethral orifice and vaginal orifice mucosa may show congestion, edema, and a large amount of purulent discharge.
