What are the hazards of severe cervicitis in women? 3 methods can treat severe cervicitis

Cervicitis is a common gynecological disease. If women do not take treatment measures after contracting cervicitis, the condition will worsen and turn from mild cervicitis to severe cervicitis, which will cause great harm to health and may lead to infertility. In severe cases, it may even cause cancer. So what are the symptoms of severe cervicitis? What are the treatments? Let's learn about it together!

What is severe cervicitis?

Cervicitis is a common disease among women of childbearing age, and there are two types: acute and chronic. Acute cervicitis often coexists with acute endometritis or acute vaginitis, but chronic cervicitis is more common. Severe cervicitis is usually defined as a large inflammation area that occupies more than 2/3 or the entire cervical area, or as Grade III cervicitis. So what causes severe cervicitis?

1. Multiple artificial abortions Multiple artificial abortions can cause varying degrees of damage to the female cervix, causing the invasion of pathogens and leading to severe cervicitis.

2. Excessive cleaning. It is a good habit for women to pay attention to personal hygiene and cleanliness, but too much is as bad as too little. Excessive cleaning of the vulva and vagina will often backfire. Not only will it fail to prevent the occurrence of diseases, but it will also create convenient conditions for the reproduction of pathogens, because excessive cleaning will destroy the normal ecological balance in the vagina, and it will also make it impossible for normal bacteria to survive, reducing its ability to inhibit bacteria, giving pathogens an opportunity to take advantage, and ultimately causing varying degrees of cervical epithelial damage and causing severe cervicitis.

3. Sexual life. The occurrence of severe cervicitis is closely related to sexual life. Generally, having sexual life too early, having too many sexual partners, having sexual life too intensely, and having sexual life during menstruation can cause women to suffer from severe cervicitis.

4. If mild cervicitis is not treated in time, it will gradually develop into severe cervicitis. If you suffer from mild or moderate cervicitis, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid it from developing into moderate cervicitis.

Symptoms of severe cervicitis

Cervicitis has a great impact on women's health. So what are the symptoms of severe cervicitis?

1. Increased vaginal discharge: Leucorrhea is usually milky white or light yellow purulent secretion, sometimes bloody or mixed with blood.

2. Vulvar itching and pain: The vulva and vagina may be stimulated by increased leucorrhea, which may lead to vulvitis or vaginitis and cause vulvar itching and pain.

3. Pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region: When the inflammation is severe, it can spread along the uterosacral ligament and cardinal ligament to cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation, causing pain in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region, accompanied by a feeling of falling.

4. Frequent urination or difficulty urinating: When the inflammation spreads to the bladder trigone or around the bladder, frequent urination or difficulty urinating may occur.

If you have the above symptoms, you are almost certain of severe cervicitis, so you should not take it lightly. You should also pay more attention to any changes in your body and any discomfort you feel.

The dangers of severe cervicitis

Cervicitis is a common gynecological disease. For women, the harm can be great or small. So what are the specific harms of cervicitis?

1. Infertility: Cervicitis endangers women's health. If we talk about the harm that cervicitis will bring to women, the first thing that will be affected is undoubtedly the female fertility.

2. The quality of sexual life of couples decreases: Although cervicitis is a common gynecological inflammation in women, it does not mean that the disease has little impact on women. On the contrary, cervicitis has a great impact on women. In addition to increasing the discomfort of patients, it also affects the quality of sexual life of couples.

3. Cervical erosion: Cervicitis can be divided into acute and chronic. Acute cervicitis has obvious symptoms and is not difficult to treat. However, if the inflammation is not treated in time or is not cured for a long time, it will turn into cervical erosion.

4. Abortion: Women need to have a health check before getting pregnant, which is a pre-pregnancy check, to understand whether their health status is suitable for pregnancy.

5. Canceration: Many patients develop cancer because they previously suffered from varying degrees of cervical inflammation, which worsened due to their own negligence or failure to receive adequate treatment.

6. Cause other gynecological inflammation: Women's reproductive organs are adjacent to each other. If one organ is diseased, it will inevitably affect the health of other organs. When women suffer from cervicitis, the disease will affect the health of surrounding organs and lead to other gynecological inflammations, such as pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis.

How to treat severe cervicitis

Severe cervicitis is very harmful. If a female friend unfortunately suffers from this disease, she should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time. What are the treatments for severe cervicitis?

1. Physical therapy. The principle of physical therapy is to destroy the epithelium of cervical lesions through laser, electrocautery, microwave and other physical therapy devices, causing necrosis and shedding, and then the new squamous epithelium will re-cover the lesioned area to make the cervix smooth. In the past, the commonly used method was electrocautery. In recent years, new instruments have been continuously introduced. Microwave therapy is an ideal advanced therapeutic device for the treatment of severe cervicitis.

2. Surgical method: Currently, surgical treatment methods are becoming more and more advanced. The high-frequency electromagnetic waves generated by the tip of the electrode can generate powerful energy in the lesion, leading to protein denaturation and irreversible necrosis of diseased tissue cells, while also achieving the purpose of hemostasis, promoting tissue reconstruction, and improving microcirculation. With the advancement of technology, this method is causing less and less harm to patients.

3. Drug-assisted treatment. Drugs are also very effective in treating severe cervicitis. The efficacy can be greatly improved by combining drugs with the above methods.

Can severe cervicitis lead to cervical cancer?

In addition to causing infertility, severe cervicitis may also lead to cervical cancer. This relatively serious gynecological disease will affect women's quality of life and may also cause some other diseases. The contaminated leucorrhea and vaginal alkaline environment caused by severe cervicitis are not conducive to the survival and movement of sperm, thus affecting conception. Severe cervicitis that has not been cured for a long time has always been considered a factor in the development of cervical cancer.

Women with cervicitis, especially those whose infection is caused by HPV infection, have a much higher incidence of cervical cancer than women without cervicitis. Therefore, if you find that you have increased vaginal discharge and other symptoms of cervicitis, you should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination in time to ensure that you are away from cervical diseases. Although it is a long process for general cervical precancerous lesions to develop into cervical malignancy, it should not be underestimated. Timely treatment can completely avoid the occurrence of cancer. The longer the delay, the greater the chance of cervicitis developing into cervical cancer.
