2. During the period of cervicitis, irregular bleeding often occurs, manifested as bright red blood, dark red blood, and if the symptoms are more serious, the blood color will be darker. Such bleeding phenomena often manifest as sexual contact bleeding, examination bleeding, etc. If the bleeding is severe and no hemostasis measures are taken, it is easy to cause other diseases.

How does TCM treat cervicitis?

There is no doubt that Chinese medicine can treat cervicitis to a certain extent. Cervicitis can be treated by self-treatment, mainly through massage. Rub your palms to warm them up, then use your palms to slowly push the lower abdomen several times, and then use your palms to massage the inner thighs several times. Apply more techniques to the painful areas until you feel the heat. Finally, after rubbing the lumbar sacral area with your palms several times, use the rubbing method for 2 to 3 minutes to transfer the heat to the lower abdomen. There are many commonly used topical compresses in medicine now. Be careful not to abuse them. It is best to do it under the guidance of a doctor.

Traditional Chinese medicine can also be used to treat cervicitis by fumigation and washing. This is a very simple and convenient treatment method. Friends with cervicitis can try it. The specific method is to boil 10g of Phellodendron, 30g of Sophora flavescens, and 30g of Cnidium monnieri in water, first fumigate and then sit bath the genitals, which is suitable for those with thick and yellow leucorrhea; Life care: 2 to 3 days after treatment, there will be a large amount of bloody or yellow watery secretions discharged from the vagina, and sanitary napkins are often used, which usually stop in about 3 weeks. When there is too much vaginal secretion and local discomfort of the vulva is stimulated, the vulva can be cleaned with warm water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, once in the morning and once in the evening.

Things that patients with cervicitis should pay attention to:

1. Get enough rest and eat more fruits, vegetables and light food.

2. Keep your outer skin clean, change your underwear frequently, and use soft cotton or silk fabrics to prevent inflammation.

3. Avoid bathing, sexual intercourse and vaginal douching during the period when the wound has not yet completely healed (4 to 8 weeks after surgery).

4. Within 1 month or 2 months after the operation, go to the hospital for regular check-ups after the menstruation is over to understand the wound healing situation.

5. Chronic cervicitis has a long course and patients often lack self-confidence. The condition should be explained to the patients patiently to help them build up their confidence and actively cooperate with the treatment.

6. For chronic cervicitis, especially cervical erosion, a cervical scraping should be done before treatment to rule out early cervicitis.

7. Those who fail to recover after long-term treatment may receive surgical treatment if necessary.
