What are the symptoms of cervicitis

Cervicitis refers to inflammation of the cervix, which can be acute or chronic. Symptoms of cervicitis usually include vaginal pain or discomfort, abnormal discharge, abnormal lesions, contact bleeding, local pain in the lumbosacral region, pelvic cavity, and lower abdomen. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly when these symptoms occur, and choose appropriate medications according to the type of infecting pathogens. Commonly used treatments include antibiotics, antifungal drugs, antiviral drugs or other anti-infective drugs, such as penicillin, itraconazole, ribavirin, etc. The specific introduction is as follows:

1. Vaginal pain or discomfort: Cervicitis may cause itching, burning, or irritation in the vaginal area. These sensations may cause discomfort or worsen.

2. Abnormal discharge: Cervicitis may cause changes in vaginal discharge. These discharges may increase in volume, become sticky, or appear in abnormal colors such as white, yellow, green, or gray. The discharge may also have an odor.

3. Abnormal lesions: Cervicitis may cause abnormal lesions on the cervix, such as cervical columnar epithelial ectopia or cervical polyps. Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia or polyps may cause bloody leucorrhea or bleeding after sexual intercourse.

4. Contact bleeding: For example, after a gynecological examination or sexual intercourse, contact bleeding occurs due to local irritation to the cervix.

5. Local pain in the lumbosacral region, pelvic cavity, and lower abdomen: When inflammation spreads along the uterosacral ligament to the pelvic cavity, there may be pain in the lumbosacral region, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and dysmenorrhea, which worsens during defecation and sexual intercourse. In rare cases, severe cervicitis may also cause local pain in the lumbosacral region, pelvic cavity, and lower abdomen.

Some patients may not have any symptoms or very mild symptoms. Since everyone's physique and situation are different, the symptoms of cervicitis are not exactly the same. If the above symptoms persist or multiple symptoms exist at the same time, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time. While cooperating with the doctor's treatment, pay attention to maintaining good living habits and hygiene habits to reduce the aggravation and recurrence of inflammation. At the same time, you should also get enough sleep and avoid staying up late and overly stressful lifestyles.
