What are the treatments for cervicitis?

Cervicitis is one of the common gynecological diseases, which is more common in women of childbearing age. It is caused by damage to the cervix and invasion of pathogens, including inflammation of the cervicovaginal part and inflammation of the cervical canal mucosa.

There are three main treatments for cervicitis:

1. Drug treatment: The main treatment for acute cervicitis is the use of antibiotics, which must be broad-spectrum antibiotics, including anti-infection drugs. If cervicitis is caused by trauma, then anti-inflammatory drugs need to be taken for treatment.

2. Physical therapy: Physical therapy is suitable for cases with severe inflammation or deep inflammatory infiltration. Commonly used methods include electric ironing, laser therapy or cryotherapy. This treatment method also has certain disadvantages, that is, the recurrence rate is relatively high. If accompanied by cervical polyps, the polyps can also be removed surgically and sent for examination.

3. Surgical treatment: For patients with deep and wide erosion or those involving the cervical canal, cervical cone resection can be considered. Due to the high bleeding caused by traditional cervical cone resection, it is now rarely used. High-frequency radio wave knife Leep knife surgery is now more commonly used. Polypectomy is performed for cervical polyps, and local medication or systemic treatment can be used for cervical mucositis.

These methods have their advantages and disadvantages. You should choose the most suitable method for treatment according to your specific condition under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, maintaining good living habits and hygiene habits can also help prevent the occurrence of cervicitis.
