Is cervicitis serious?

Cervicitis refers to an inflammatory disease of the cervix, usually caused by bacterial infection, viral infection, mechanical stimulation and other factors. Symptoms of cervicitis include cervical swelling, pain, contact bleeding, etc. In severe cases, it can lead to cervical erosion, cervical polyps and other lesions. The incidence of cervicitis is high, especially for women who do not pay attention to personal hygiene, have frequent sexual life or unclean sexual behavior.

1. Mild cervicitis: Mild cervicitis usually presents with symptoms such as cervical redness and swelling, a small amount of secretions, etc., and generally does not cause serious complications. Mild cervicitis can be cured through drug treatment and adjustment of lifestyle habits, such as keeping the vulva clean and avoiding unclean sexual behavior.

2. Moderate cervicitis: The symptoms of moderate cervicitis are more obvious, and cervical erosion, cervical polyps, etc. may occur. At this time, a combination of drug therapy and physical therapy, such as laser, freezing, etc., is needed to eliminate inflammation and diseased tissue.

3. Severe cervicitis: Severe cervicitis usually presents with symptoms such as cervical erosion and severe cervical polyps, which may affect fertility and sexual life. For severe cervicitis, surgical treatment is required, such as cervical conization, total hysterectomy, etc.

The severity of cervicitis varies from person to person and needs to be evaluated and treated on a case-by-case basis. Mild cervicitis can usually be cured, moderate cervicitis requires a combination of medication and physical therapy, and severe cervicitis requires surgery. The key to preventing cervicitis is to maintain personal hygiene, avoid unclean sexual behavior, and promptly treat gynecological diseases.
