What is cervicitis

Cervicitis can be divided into acute cervicitis and chronic cervicitis. It may be caused by a variety of factors, including bacteria, viruses, physical, mechanical, chemical factors, and sexual factors. Most patients with acute cervicitis and chronic cervicitis may not have any obvious symptoms. Of course, some people may have purulent secretions, some may have intermittent bleeding, and some may have symptoms such as irritation, itching, and burning of the vulva due to increased secretions.

What are the symptoms of cervicitis?

Symptoms of cervicitis include increased secretions in some people, which may be purulent. Chronic cervicitis may have less increased secretions. For patients with acute cervicitis, doctors can see that the cervix is ​​very red, swollen, hot and painful during examination, which is a serious manifestation. If a pathogen test is done, a large number of purulent white blood cells may be found. The same is true for chronic cervicitis. If the secretions increase, it will irritate the vulva and cause itching. There may also be intermittent bleeding or bleeding during intercourse. Some people may have polyps, and some may have hypertrophy of the cervix.

Can cervicitis turn into cancer?

Cervicitis may turn into cancer. If the cervix is ​​always inflamed, the body's local resistance will be very poor. It will also cause HPV infection, which is a high-risk infection. If the HPV infection does not turn negative, the risk of cervical cancer may increase. Therefore, Dr. Wang Caixia believes that cervicitis should be treated in time. If it is not treated, due to low resistance, it may lead to HPV infection, which may increase the risk of cervical cancer.

Kind tips:

Patients with cervicitis should not eat raw, cold, hard, spicy or irritating foods. They should eat more foods rich in vitamins and minerals, which can improve the condition of cervicitis to a certain extent.
