Will excessive sexual activity cause cervicitis? What are the hazards of chronic cervicitis?

Cervicitis is a common cervical disease, which can be divided into acute and chronic. There are many patients with chronic cervicitis. Let's take a look at the hazards of chronic cervicitis.

What are the dangers of chronic cervicitis?

pain.

Pain often occurs in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region, and sometimes in the upper abdomen, thighs, and hip joints. It worsens with each menstruation, bowel movement, or sexual intercourse. Especially when the inflammation spreads backward along the uterosacral ligament or along the bottom of the broad ligament, chronic parauterine connective tissue inflammation is formed, and the pain becomes more severe as the main ligament of the cervix thickens. Every time the cervix is ​​touched, it immediately causes pain in the iliac fossa and lumbosacral region. Some patients may even feel nauseous and their sexual intercourse is affected.

Increased leucorrhea.

Sometimes it is the only symptom. It is usually sticky mucus or purulent mucus. Sometimes the discharge has blood streaks or a small amount of blood or contact bleeding. Leucorrhea irritation can cause vulvar itching.

Leading to multiple complications.

After cervical erosion, it will cause inflammation of other organs. For example, the pathogens of cervical erosion can cause uterine inflammation; chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can spread through the uterine ligaments and lymphatic vessels.

Infertility.

Chronic cervicitis is one of the most common gynecological diseases. It is common in childbirth, cervical erosion, abortion, or surgical damage to the cervix, and pathogens invade and cause infection, and it is caused by acute cervicitis. The treatment of acute cervicitis is often incomplete, and the pathogens hide in the cervical mucosa, forming chronic inflammation.

Many women have mild symptoms of acute cervicitis and are often ignored, leading to chronic cervicitis. About 20%-25% of patients with excessive vaginal discharge are caused by cervicitis. If the leucorrhea caused by inflammation is thick and purulent, it will be difficult for sperm to pass through the cervical canal, leading to infertility.

Ways to prevent cervicitis

Women should avoid sitting for long periods of time

As we all know, if women are used to sitting for a long time, it will cause blood circulation. Here, we also need to know something more important. Women sitting for a long time will also cause poor ventilation of the genitals, thereby hindering blood circulation. Therefore, it is also more susceptible to infection, leading to symptoms of cervicitis.

Women should avoid using panty liners for a long time

I believe that many women have this idea: using pads can avoid direct contact between the genitals and underwear, which helps to keep the genital environment clean. Wrong, very wrong. We should know that if women use pads for a long time, it is easy to cause poor ventilation and infection in the genitals. Therefore, I recommend here that female friends should only use pads during menstruation, and it is best not to use pads at other times.

Women should avoid unclean sexual life

After childbirth, abortion, and cervical physical therapy, you should prevent infection, avoid sexual intercourse in the short term, and pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and vagina. Avoid unclean sexual intercourse. Unclean sexual intercourse can easily cause various pathogens and induce cervicitis and even cervical cancer. Avoiding premature, excessive, and frequent childbirth and abortion is also one of the ways to prevent cervicitis.
