What are the hazards of acute cervicitis?

Patient's question:

I am a patient with cervical inflammation. I have never really wanted to seek treatment, but I am also worried about potential greater harm.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the hazards of acute cervical inflammation include:
1. Causing infertility: When suffering from cervical inflammation, cervical secretions increase significantly, becoming viscous and containing a large number of white blood cells. This adversely affects sperm motility, hinders sperm from entering the uterine cavity, and affects conception. Severe cases may lead to infertility.
2. Causing various complications: After developing cervical erosion, it can lead to inflammation of other organs, such as: the pathogens of cervical erosion can ascend to cause endometritis; they can spread through the parametrium ligaments or lymphatic vessels to cause chronic pelvic inflammation.
3. Leading to deeper pathological changes: Due to long-term stimulation by chronic inflammation, it can cause conditions such as polyps, cracks, inversion, and cysts.
4. Causing miscarriage: Cervical inflammation can also be a cause of miscarriage. It alters tissue structure and reduces elasticity, making labor difficult.
5. Affecting sexual life: Severe pain or bleeding during intercourse can cause women to develop aversion to sex, severely impacting marital relationships.
6. Increasing the risk of cervical cancer: Women with cervical inflammation have a 10 times higher risk of developing cervical cancer compared to those without cervical inflammation.
