Is cervicitis serious?

Cervicitis is a common gynecological disease, usually caused by inflammation of the cervical mucosa due to infection. The severity of cervicitis depends on factors such as the type of pathogen infecting, the duration of the disease, and the condition of the individual's immune system. It is recommended to go to the hospital's gynecology department for relevant examinations as soon as possible, and then treat the cause.

1. Not serious: Cervicitis is a relatively common inflammation, usually manifested by symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, cervical pain, and pain during sexual intercourse. It generally does not cause serious complications.

2. Severe: If cervicitis is not treated in time or is treated improperly, it may lead to serious consequences. Long-term untreated cervicitis may lead to cervical mucosal erosion and increase the risk of cervical cancer. Cervical lesions caused by cervicitis may develop into cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or cervical cancer. Severe cervicitis may affect the quality and quantity of cervical mucus, affect the passage of sperm through the cervix into the uterus, and thus affect conception. Uncontrolled cervicitis during pregnancy may increase the risk of complications such as premature birth, miscarriage and infection.

After suffering from cervicitis, timely medical treatment and standardized treatment. Regular gynecological examinations, avoiding excessive sexual activity, and maintaining personal hygiene can also help prevent the occurrence and development of cervicitis.
