What causes cervicitis? What are the symptoms of cervicitis?

Cervicitis is a common gynecological disease, mostly occurring in women of childbearing age. Elderly people also develop the disease with vaginitis. The main manifestations of cervicitis are increased leucorrhea, purulent, or abnormal bleeding such as intermenstrual bleeding, bleeding after sexual intercourse, etc. It is often accompanied by backache and lower abdominal discomfort. There are two types: acute and chronic. Acute cervicitis often coexists with acute endometritis or acute vaginitis, but chronic cervicitis is more common. The occurrence of cervicitis is related to sexual life. Natural or artificial abortion, diagnostic curettage and delivery can cause cervical damage and lead to inflammation. The treatment strategy is mainly antibiotic drug treatment. For those who acquire pathogens, sensitive antibiotics are selected for pathogens. Empirical treatment should include treatment for various possible pathogenic microorganisms, including aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, chlamydia (and or gonococci), mycoplasma, etc. 1. Acute cervicitis: increased leucorrhea, purulent, accompanied by back pain and lower abdominal discomfort. Conscious low back pain, lower abdominal pain, vulvar itching or tingling; frequent urination, tingling during urination, etc. may also occur. 2. Chronic cervicitis: more leucorrhea, milky white, mucous or blood in leucorrhea, or bleeding during sexual intercourse, accompanied by vulvar itching, lumbosacral pain, and aggravated menstruation. 3. Physical signs: Acute cervicitis, gynecological examination, cervical congestion, edema, tenderness; chronic cervicitis, gynecological examination, varying degrees of cervical erosion, hypertrophy or polyps. Mechanical stimulation or injury (25%): The occurrence of cervicitis is related to sexual life. Natural or artificial abortion, diagnostic curettage and childbirth can cause cervical damage and lead to inflammation. Adult women should pay attention to contraception, avoid or reduce artificial abortion surgery, pay attention to postpartum hygiene, and avoid postpartum infection. Pathogen infection (25%): The most common ones at home and abroad are gonococci, Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma genitalium, followed by general bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Trichomonas, fungi, etc. Chemical stimulation (20%): Flushing the vagina with potassium permanganate solution or inserting suppositories into the vagina can cause cervicitis. Vaginal foreign body and infection (15%): Vaginal foreign body infection causes cervicitis. Cervicitis has different manifestations and different clinical symptoms according to classification. The symptoms of acute cervicitis are mainly: Most patients with acute cervicitis are asymptomatic, and some symptomatic patients show a sudden increase in vaginal discharge, which is mucopurulent and has a peculiar smell, accompanied by itching and burning sensation in the genitals, bleeding after sexual intercourse, and symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. The main symptoms of chronic cervicitis are: a small number of patients have yellowish or purulent secretions and increase, bleeding during menstruation and sexual intercourse, vaginal itching, and erosion. Most patients are asymptomatic. Cervicitis is different according to the classification and has different clinical symptoms. The main symptoms of acute cervicitis are: most patients with acute cervicitis are asymptomatic, and some symptomatic patients show a sudden increase in vaginal secretions, which are mucopurulent and have a peculiar smell, accompanied by vaginal itching and burning sensation, bleeding after sexual intercourse, and symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. The main symptoms of chronic cervicitis are: a small number of patients have yellowish or purulent secretions and increase, bleeding during menstruation and sexual intercourse, vaginal itching, and erosion. Most patients are asymptomatic. According to the different clinical symptoms of cervicitis, the treatment methods are also different. Acute cervicitis is mainly treated with antibiotics. Different antibiotics are used according to different pathogens. In the process of treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to the use of different treatment methods according to different lesions. Empirical antibiotic treatment is mainly for patients with high risk factors for sexual transmission. Chronic endocervical mucositis requires treatment based on different pathogens. Cervical polyps are treated with polypectomy, while cervical hypertrophy generally does not require treatment. The main treatment strategy for cervicitis in Western medicine is antibiotic therapy. For those who have acquired the pathogen, sensitive antibiotics are selected for the pathogen. Empirical treatment should include treatment for various possible pathogenic microorganisms, including aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, chlamydia (and or gonococci), mycoplasma, etc. Patients with high risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases, especially those of age
