Will female cervicitis lead to infertility? Teach you how to detect cervicitis as early as possible

Cervicitis can lead to infertility. The symptoms of acute cervicitis in many women are not obvious, and they are often ignored and directly develop chronic cervicitis. Chronic cervicitis is the most common gynecological disease. It is often seen in childbirth, abortion or surgical damage to the cervix, and pathogens invade and cause infection. Cervicitis is closely related to cervical cancer. Relevant data show that the incidence of cervical cancer in women with cervicitis is 10 times higher than that of women without cervicitis. 0.39% of those without cervical erosion suffer from cervical cancer, while 2.05% of those with uterine erosion suffer from cervical cancer. In addition, it should not be ignored that about 20%-25% of patients with excessive vaginal discharge are caused by cervicitis. If the leucorrhea caused by inflammation is sticky and purulent, it will be detrimental to the passage of sperm through the cervical canal, thus leading to infertility. Gynecological examinations can detect cervicitis early. Cervicitis can occur in women of any age. There are two types: acute and chronic. Chronic cervicitis is more common, commonly known as cervical erosion. Cervical erosion is caused by the immersion of inflammatory secretions, the shedding of the squamous epithelium of the cervix, and the replacement of the columnar epithelium of the cervical canal. Increased vaginal discharge is the most common, and sometimes even the only, symptom of acute cervicitis. The vaginal discharge is purulent or mixed with blood, often accompanied by backache and lower abdominal pain. Sometimes the vulva is stimulated by inflammatory secretions and has itching, burning sensation, and urination symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. A few patients have symptoms such as sexual intercourse pain and fever. However, some people have no obvious symptoms after suffering from acute cervicitis, so they are often easily ignored and develop into chronic cervicitis. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity along the uterosacral ligament, there may be pain in the lumbosacral region and pain in the lower part of the pelvic cavity. Its main clinical manifestations are cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, cervical canal cysts, and cervical mucositis. If it is not detected and treated in time, the symptoms will worsen, and a few may even turn into cancer, which is very harmful. However, due to the development of modern medicine, if women have a cervical smear test or electronic colposcopy once a year, cervical lesions can be detected in time. Therefore, regular gynecological examinations are very necessary for women.
