Do women know what chronic cervicitis is? How long does it take to treat chronic cervicitis?

Chronic cervicitis has a great impact on women. It may cause endometritis or acute vaginitis, accompanied by cervical redness and swelling, local erosion, cervical polyps, and even cervical gland cysts. Some people want to treat these symptoms quickly, but they don't know the specific symptoms and don't know how to control them. This often delays the recovery of the disease, resulting in more and more severe symptoms. In order to avoid similar situations, experts interviewed Fu Xiafei, chief physician of Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University, online, hoping to help everyone answer questions such as what is chronic cervicitis and how long it takes to treat chronic cervicitis.

What is chronic cervicitis?

Cervicitis is divided into acute cervicitis and chronic cervicitis. Chronic cervicitis is usually discovered during gynecological examinations. In some cases, it may manifest as abnormal vaginal discharge, purulent secretions, or vulvar itching, bleeding during intercourse, and irregular vaginal bleeding between menstruation. During gynecological examinations, it is found that the cervix is ​​congested and edematous, and there are some purulent secretions attached to the surface of the cervix, and even polyps and cervical hypertrophy.

Does chronic cervicitis require surgical treatment?

The local manifestations of chronic cervicitis will vary. For chronic cervicitis with cervical polyps and corresponding symptoms, surgical treatment is required to remove the cervical polyps. If there are symptoms but no cervical polyps, the main treatment for these types of chronic cervicitis is drug treatment. Not every patient with chronic cervicitis needs surgical treatment, and in most cases, drug treatment can be chosen.

How long does it take to treat chronic cervicitis?

Since different types of chronic cervicitis patients receive different treatment plans, the course of treatment cannot be generalized. For patients with obvious abnormal leucorrhea symptoms, they are mainly treated with medication, and the course of treatment is about 1-2 weeks. For patients with cervical erosion, physical therapy is required, which takes about 4-8 weeks. In addition, patients with cervical polyps will need about a week to recover after surgical treatment.

The above introduction is Dr. Fu Xiafei’s answer to the treatment methods and basic concepts of chronic cervicitis. If you want to quickly control the symptoms of chronic cervicitis, you should find the correct treatment methods, and combine them with usual care methods to make effective protective preparations.
