Cervicitis is very harmful to women

1. Affecting the sexual life of couples

Severe cervicitis can cause severe pain or bleeding symptoms during sexual intercourse, which can make women feel disgusted with sexual intercourse and seriously affect the relationship between husband and wife.

2. Induce cervical cancer

According to statistics, the incidence of cervical cancer in women with cervicitis is 10 times higher than that in women without cervicitis.

3. Induce miscarriage

Long-term cervical inflammation can cause changes in cervical tissue, reduce elasticity, and make delivery process difficult.

4. Affects conception

When suffering from cervicitis, cervical secretions will increase significantly, become thick in texture, and contain a large number of white blood cells. This will have an adverse effect on sperm motility, hinder sperm from entering the uterine cavity, affect conception, and even lead to infertility.

5. Cause multiple complications

After cervicitis, pathogens can ascend to cause endometritis, and can spread through the parauterine ligaments and lymphatic vessels to cause chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. In addition, it can also cause cervical polyps, ectropion and cysts.

What is the cause of cervical cancer?

1. Relationship with sexual partner: If the husband has phimosis or foreskin that is too long, his wife has a greater relative risk of cervical cancer. If the husband has penile cancer or prostate cancer or his ex-wife has cervical cancer, or if the man has a sexual partner, his wife's chance of developing cervical cancer increases.

2. Relationship with sexual life: Women who have sexual life too early have a 4 times higher incidence of cervical cancer than those who start sexual life after the age of 18. It has been confirmed that if a woman has sexual relations with multiple men, she is more likely to develop cervical cancer, while virgins rarely develop cervical cancer.

3. Relationship with marriage: The incidence of cervical cancer is also higher in women who have married multiple times. Multiple births with poor perinatal maintenance and delivery process will also increase the incidence of cervical cancer.

Can cervical cancer be cured?

Cervical cancer is different from other tumors. It has a clear natural history and a series of precancerous lesions. Its occurrence and development are from quantitative change to qualitative change, gradual change to mutation, which takes several years or even more than ten years. The key to prevention and treatment is to detect and treat cervical lesions in time through screening to stop their development into cervical cancer. The treatment effect of early cervical lesions is much better than that of cervical cancer. The 5-year survival rate of invasive cervical cancer is 67%, the cure rate of early cervical cancer is 90%-92%, and the cure rate of cervical carcinoma in situ can reach 100%.
