Sexual habits that can easily cause cervicitis What should I do if I have cervicitis

The cervix is ​​the most important reproductive organ for every woman, because only a normal cervix can help us get pregnant. However, if a female friend suffers from cervicitis, it will affect fertility issues, because cervicitis hinders fertility and causes physical and mental harm to most female friends. Therefore, we must treat it in time. So, what is the examination method for cervicitis?

Predisposing factors of cervicitis

Bad sexual habits: Many male friends have rough sex, which causes damage to the cervical tissue and eventually leads to cervicitis. Too frequent sex is also an important cause of cervicitis.

Spontaneous abortion, diagnostic curettage and childbirth lead to cervicitis: Although spontaneous abortion and childbirth do not require surgery, they still cause varying degrees of damage to the cervix and tissues, which can easily cause cervicitis. For women who have abortions and curettage, the incidence of cervicitis is higher, mechanical stimulation or damage is obvious, and it is easy to get infected, leading to gynecological inflammation such as cervicitis.

Flushing the vagina with acidic or alkaline solutions or inserting suppositories into the vagina can cause cervicitis.

What are the examination methods for cervicitis?

1. Cervical smear cytology examination: This is a routine examination for gynecological cervicitis. It is simple, easy, cost-effective, and is the most important auxiliary examination and the first choice for cancer prevention screening.

2. Iodine test and naked eye observation method: This method is very simple and cheap, and can detect at least 2/3 of the lesions. As a preliminary screening method for cervical cancer, 3%-5% acetic acid solution is applied to the cervix. The reaction of the cervical epithelium to acetic acid is observed, and then a biopsy is performed on the white lesion area.

3. Colposcopy: It can quickly detect lesions that are invisible to the naked eye. Taking biopsies from suspicious areas during colposcopy can significantly improve the accuracy of biopsies.

4. Gynecological examination: Focus on checking the size, shape, texture, thickness of the cervix, and whether there is contact bleeding. Then check the vulva, vagina, uterus, and parauterine tissue (ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic lymph nodes, etc.).

The dangers of cervicitis

1. Cervical malignancy: Although there is no important scientific evidence to prove that chronic cervicitis can cause cervical cancer, investigations have found that the probability of chronic cervicitis patients developing cervical cancer is particularly high.

2. Leads to infertility: When chronic cervicitis is severe, the cervical secretion is abnormal, the cervical secretion increases, the texture is viscous, and there are many white blood cells, which will affect female fertility.

3. Cause complications: Chronic cervicitis can also cause inflammation such as cervical erosion and cervical polyps, and white mucus leucorrhea will appear, which may be yellow or pus in severe cases. When polyps occur, the symptoms will become more severe and bloody leucorrhea or bleeding after sexual intercourse may occur.

4. Cause other gynecological diseases: The pathogens of chronic cervicitis can spread through the uterine ligaments and lymphatic vessels to cause chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, and can also enter the uterus to cause endometritis; when the impact of inflammation is seriously expanded, it will cause urinary system diseases such as urinary pain and frequent urination.

What to do if you have cervicitis?

The general medicines for cervicitis mainly include Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Chinese medicine treatment of cervicitis usually uses Chinese patent medicine, but for Chinese medicine, cervicitis is generally divided into damp heat injection and spleen and kidney deficiency, and treatment also needs to effectively treat these two conditions. When choosing medicine, we can't be blind, we should choose the appropriate treatment method according to our own situation.

Western medicine belongs to the drug type and uses antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, but such drugs should not be used too much and for too long, otherwise pathogenic bacteria will be more likely to develop drug resistance, making the treatment effect of the disease less obvious.
