What should patients with cervicitis do in summer? Introducing self-care methods for patients with cervicitis

The weather is hot in summer, and many gynecological diseases are more likely to occur or worsen during this period, especially cervicitis. Many patients with gynecological diseases become very nervous in summer, fearing that their condition will worsen and the treatment time will be prolonged. Gynecological experts say that gynecological inflammation is not terrible, the key is to choose the right treatment method.

To prevent cervicitis, clean the private parts appropriately

The high temperature and high humidity in summer provide very good living conditions for pathogenic microorganisms such as inflammatory cells. In addition, the thin clothes in summer increase the chance of bacterial infection, which makes many patients with cervicitis prone to relapse in summer. Many female friends pay great attention to personal hygiene and think that frequent cleaning of "private parts" in summer can prevent cervicitis. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Due to the special structure of female external reproductive organs, they are easily invaded by various pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, daily cleaning is necessary. But everything should have a degree. Overdoing cleaning work will also cause trouble because it destroys the body's innate defense function. The secretions in the vagina generate lactic acid under the action of beneficial bacteria, which constitutes a biological barrier. If you use lotion or even disinfectant to clean every day, it will weaken the function of the barrier and have the opposite effect.

Self-care for patients with cervicitis

1. Lifestyle

You should develop good living habits, pay attention to rest, and avoid overwork. This is one of the self-care methods for cervicitis.

2. Taboos during menstruation

During menstruation, stop applying medicine on the cervix, and do not have sex during the nursing period of cervicitis. Because after the treatment of cervicitis, there is a layer of inflamed scab on the surface that needs to fall off, and new tissue will slowly grow out. During the process of tissue repair, if you have sex, the new wound surface of the cervix will be worn away or even bleed, affecting the efficacy.

3. Others

After the treatment of cervicitis, there will be more iron-blooded or yellow watery secretions discharged from the vagina. Therefore, cotton sanitary pads can be used during the day, and new pads need to be replaced frequently. The vulva should also be cleaned with clean water, once in the morning and once in the evening. These are all things that need to be paid attention to during the care of cervicitis.
