2. Different symptoms: Patients with chronic cervicitis will have symptoms such as abnormal leucorrhea, vulvar itching, bleeding after sexual intercourse, and purulent or yellow leucorrhea; patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease will have symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, swelling, lumbosacral pain, increased vaginal discharge, and a small number of patients will have abnormal vaginal bleeding.

The contents of the examinations are different: patients with chronic cervicitis need to undergo gynecological examinations, secretion examinations, colposcopy, etc.; patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease need to undergo cervical secretion examinations, blood routine, inflammatory markers, imaging examinations, etc. They also need to undergo laparoscopy. The examinations can quickly determine the severity of the disease, and then further treatment measures can be taken.

Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take drugs such as metronidazole tablets, tinidazole tablets, amoxicillin capsules, etc., which are beneficial to the recovery of the disease.
