1. Drug treatment: Drug treatment refers to the use of traditional Chinese medicine or a mixture of traditional Chinese medicine and antibiotics to treat cervicitis locally by vaginal medication and washing. Drug treatment of cervicitis has the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, reducing swelling and relieving pain, activating blood circulation and promoting tissue regeneration, and is non-invasive, easy to use, and does not damage the uterus.

Disadvantages of drug treatment: drug treatment also has its unpopular side. Drug treatment has a long effect, slow effect, easy recurrence, and high cost for long-term use. It should be emphasized that drug treatment is possible for mild cervicitis as long as it is used in a standardized manner under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Physical therapy: Physical therapy for cervicitis is mainly based on local minimally invasive treatment. The principle of physical therapy is to destroy the epithelium of cervical lesions, causing them to necrotize and fall off, and then the new squamous epithelium will re-cover the lesioned area, making the cervix smooth, thus achieving the purpose of treating cervicitis.

Disadvantages of physical therapy: Physical therapy for gynecological cervicitis can easily damage the normal cervical tissue, causing damage to it and affecting future sexual life. In addition, damage to cervical tissue can easily cause cervical adhesion, which prevents sperm from entering the cervix smoothly and leads to infertility.
