What are the symptoms of female cervicitis? Two diagnostic bases for female cervicitis

Various gynecological diseases require female friends to be vigilant. Nowadays, the prevalence of gynecological diseases is gradually increasing, and the threat and harm to human health are also increasing. It can be said that it has sounded the alarm for people's health. It is still necessary to detect and treat it in time. Don't miss the best time for treatment. So what are the symptoms of cervicitis?

Common symptoms:

1. Acute cervicitis

Most patients are asymptomatic. Those with symptoms mainly show increased vaginal discharge, which is mucopurulent. Stimulation of the discharge can cause vulvar itching and burning sensation. In addition, symptoms such as intermenstrual bleeding and bleeding after sexual intercourse may occur. If combined with urinary tract infection, urinary urgency, frequent urination, and painful urination may occur. If it is a Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, due to the involvement of the paraurethral glands and Bartholin's glands, congestion, edema, and a large amount of purulent secretions can be seen in the urethral and vaginal opening mucosa.

2. Chronic cervicitis

Most of them are asymptomatic, but a few patients may have increased vaginal discharge, which is light yellow or purulent, bleeding after sexual intercourse, bleeding between menstruation, and occasional irritation of the discharge causing vulvar itching and discomfort. Gynecological examination may reveal erosion-like changes in the cervix, or yellow discharge covering or flowing out of the cervical opening, or cervical polyps or cervical hypertrophy.

Diagnosis of cervicitis is based on:

1. Acute cervicitis

The presence of one of the two characteristic signs and an increase in the white blood cell count in the cervical or vaginal secretions under microscopic examination can make a preliminary diagnosis of acute cervicitis. After the diagnosis of cervicitis, further testing for Chlamydia and Neisseria gonorrhoeae is required. The presence of one or both of the two characteristic signs: ① Purulent or mucopurulent secretions can be seen with the naked eye on the cervical canal or cervical canal cotton swab specimens ② When wiping the cervical canal with a cotton swab, it is easy to induce bleeding in the cervical canal

2. Chronic cervicitis

A preliminary diagnosis of chronic cervicitis can be made based on clinical manifestations, but care should be taken to differentiate the positive signs found during gynecological examination from common pathophysiological changes of the cervix (cervical CIN cancer or early cervical cancer).

The above article gives a clear answer to the symptoms of cervicitis. I believe everyone knows that if cervicitis is not treated promptly and correctly, it can easily lead to cervical erosion and even cervical cancer. This will not only increase the harm but also make treatment more difficult. I hope everyone can seek treatment as soon as possible.
