The harm of cervicitis in women

Affecting the quality of sexual life: Severe cervicitis may seriously affect the quality of sexual life, which may make women feel pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse, thus rejecting sexual intercourse.

Leading to miscarriage: Cervicitis is one of the causes of miscarriage in women. Cervicitis can cause changes in tissues, resulting in decreased elasticity, which can cause an unsmooth delivery process and ultimately lead to miscarriage.

Leading to infertility: Since patients with cervicitis will have increased vaginal secretions, the leucorrhea caused by these inflammations will be thick and purulent, which may hinder the passage of sperm through the cervical canal, thus causing infertility.

Induce cervical cancer: Women with cervicitis are very likely to develop cervical cancer. If cervicitis is not treated for a long time or is not cured for a long time, it is very likely to induce cervical cancer.

Next, let me tell you about the examination items for cervicitis.

Examination items for cervicitis in women

Colposcopy: Patients can quickly discover lesions that are invisible to the naked eye. Taking biopsies from suspicious areas during colposcopy can significantly improve the accuracy of biopsies.

Pathological examination of cervical biopsy tissue: Pathological examination of cervical biopsy tissue is the basis for confirming cervical cancer. Current medical expert research shows that the main cause of cervical cancer is that women are infected with human papillomavirus.

Iodine test and naked eye observation method: As the initial screening method for cervical cancer, 3%-5% acetic acid solution is used to smear the cervix, observe the reaction of the cervical epithelium to acetic acid, and then take a biopsy from the white lesion area. The iodine test and naked eye observation method are very simple and inexpensive, and can detect at least 2/3 of the lesions.

Female leucorrhea self-examination method: Some patients with this disease have no obvious symptoms, which are often ignored and develop into a chronic disease. Its main symptom is increased leucorrhea. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity along the uterosacral ligament, there may be pain in the lumbar sacral region, pain in the lower part of the pelvic cavity, etc. Its main clinical manifestations are cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, cervical canal cysts, and cervical mucositis.

Experts remind everyone that cervicitis examination should be done in a regular hospital.
