Is female cervicitis a serious disease? How should female cervicitis be treated?

What are the causes and care methods of cervical inflammation in women? Cervicitis is a common gynecological inflammation for female friends. It brings great harm to the female body after the onset of the disease. So what are the causes of cervical inflammation and how to prevent it in daily life? Let us learn about it in detail.

Causes of cervicitis in women:

1. Vaginal foreign body infection and inflammation

If there are foreign objects in the female vagina, such as gauze or cotton balls, it will easily breed bacteria and cause cervical inflammation if left there for too long. Especially during the menstrual period, since the vaginal environment is different from usual, inflammation may also occur if women use sanitary napkins improperly.

2. Ascending vaginitis

When women suffer from Trichomonas vaginitis and candidal vaginitis, both are bacterial vaginitis. If women suffer from such diseases for a long time and are not cured, the bacteria can easily ascend through the vagina to the cervix and cause cervicitis. During sexual intercourse, if they are infected with this bacteria from their sexual partners, it will cause cervicitis.

3. Uterine surgery damage causes inflammation

When women give birth or have an abortion, the cervix is ​​easily damaged, which is the most common cause of cervicitis. Of course, if women undergo uterine or other surgeries in irregular hospitals without strict disinfection procedures, they are prone to infection during the operation, causing cervicitis. Frequent sexual intercourse can also increase the chance of cervical infection.

4. Improper cleaning of the genitals

When women's vulva is itchy, many women will choose to use cleaning solution to clean it. However, if concentrated or alkaline solutions are used to clean the vagina for a long time, or corrosive drugs are placed in the vagina, it will damage the vagina and cervical tissues and cause cervicitis and vaginitis.

What are the dangers of cervicitis?

1. Cause infertility

When women have cervical inflammation, especially moderate or severe cervicitis, cervical secretions will increase significantly, become sticky, and contain a large amount of white urine. This will have an adverse effect on sperm activity, hinder sperm from entering the uterine cavity, and affect normal conception.

2. Increase the chance of tumor transformation

When women have cervicitis, it will cause increased vaginal discharge, back pain, lower abdominal distension and other symptoms that affect their mood. From the perspective of cancer prevention, cervicitis is closely related to cervical cancer. Although cervical cancer is terrible, it is currently the only symptom that can be detected and treated early.

3. Cause complications

When women suffer from cervicitis, it can cause inflammation of other organs. For example, the pathogens of chronic cervicitis can ascend to cause endometritis, and can spread through the parauterine ligaments and lymphatic vessels to cause chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. When the inflammation involves the bladder triangle, it can cause urinary system diseases with symptoms of urinary pain, frequent urination, or difficulty urinating.

How to care for female cervicitis?

Within two or three days after a woman develops cervicitis, her vagina will have a lot of bloody or yellow watery secretions. During the day, you can use a well-known fabric sanitary pad, and be sure to change the pad frequently. Wash the vulva with warm water once in the morning and once in the evening. It is best to wear all-cotton underwear, and change it frequently, and keep the vulva clean. Do not have sex for one to two months, because after the treatment of cervicitis, there will be a layer of inflamed scab on the surface that will fall off, and new tissue will slowly grow out. During the tissue repair process, if it is operated again, it will cause wear and even bleeding on the new wound surface of the cervix, affecting the treatment effect.

Treatment and conditioning of cervicitis are equally important, especially in daily life, we must regulate it well. In addition to some clinical treatments, we must also do a good job of nursing.
