Cervicitis is a common gynecological disease, which has a certain impact on the health of our female friends! We cannot underestimate its harm. Mild cases will cause infertility, and severe cases will cause cervical cancer, which will be particularly difficult to treat at that time. Therefore, after suffering from cervicitis, you must actively treat it! In order to avoid more serious consequences! Cervicitis, also known as cervicitis for short, is a female reproductive organ. The cervix is connected to the uterus above and the vagina below, and is in a connecting position. From an anatomical structure point of view, it is part of the uterus. The cervix and the uterus are connected together, just like an inverted bottle, so some people refer to it as a "bottleneck". This bottleneck plays an important role. It is not only an important organ for reproductive physiology and reproductive endocrine function, but also an important barrier to prevent pathogens in the vagina from invading the uterine cavity. Cervicitis can be divided into acute cervicitis and chronic cervicitis. The main symptoms are increased leucorrhea. 1. Symptoms of acute cervicitis 1. Increased leucorrhea, viscous or purulent leucorrhea; 2. Feeling of low back pain, lower abdominal pain, itching or tingling in the vulva; frequent urination and tingling during urination may also occur. 2. Symptoms of chronic cervicitis 1. Increased leucorrhea: Increased leucorrhea is the main symptom of this disease. Usually, the leucorrhea is milky white or light yellow purulent secretion, sometimes bloody or mixed with blood; 2. Vulvar itching and pain: due to the stimulation of increased leucorrhea, the vulva and vagina may be secondary to vulvitis or vaginitis, causing vulvar itching and pain; 3. Pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region: When the inflammation is severe, it can spread along the main ligament of the uterosacral ligament, leading to pelvic connective tissue inflammation, causing pain in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region, accompanied by a feeling of falling; 4. Frequent urination or difficulty urinating: When the inflammation spreads to the bladder triangle or around the bladder, frequent urination or difficulty urinating may occur; 5. Infertility: Viscous leucorrhea is not conducive to sperm penetration, so severe cervicitis can cause infertility. Causes of cervicitis Causes of cervicitis 1. Vaginitis Acute trichomonas vaginitis or fungal vaginitis Bacterial vaginitis can also cause acute cervicitis. Acute gonococcal cervicitis often occurs when there is gonorrhea infection. Causes of cervicitis 2. Infection with cervicitis bacteria The bacteria that can cause cervicitis in women include: Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli and other bacteria. If these bacteria cause purulent inflammation, it may cause cervicitis in women. Causes of cervicitis 3. Mechanical stimulation or injury. Cervical laceration caused by childbirth or abortion. Secondary infection is common in acute cervicitis. Too frequent sexual life can also increase the chance of cervical infection. Causes of cervicitis 4. Stimulation by physical and chemical factors: Using high-concentration acidic or alkaline solutions to flush the vagina, or inserting corrosive drugs into the vagina, can damage the vaginal cervical tissue and may cause cervicitis and vaginitis. Cause 5 of cervicitis: Drug abuse: Many women have the habit of taking antibiotics and frequently using vulvar washes, which disrupt the flora in women's bodies and the balance of endocrine system, and may also cause inflammation in women. Causes of cervicitis 6. Unclean and premature sexual life. Many women suffer from cervicitis because of unclean sexual life and premature sexual life, which may also lead to inflammation and cause cervicitis. Nursing for cervicitis 1. Patients with cervicitis should develop good living habits, pay attention to rest, and avoid overwork. This is one of the nursing methods for cervicitis. 2. Stop applying medicine on the cervix during menstruation, and avoid sexual intercourse during the treatment of cervicitis. Because after the treatment of cervicitis, there is a layer of inflamed scab on the surface that will fall off, and new tissue will slowly grow out. During the process of tissue repair, if you have sexual intercourse, the new wound surface of the cervix will be worn and even bleed, affecting the efficacy. 3. There is a certain relationship between cervicitis and cervical cancer, so cervicitis needs to be treated actively. 4. 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. 5. Keep your outer clothes clean, change your underwear frequently, and make sure your underwear is soft and made of pure cotton or silk. 6. Avoid bathing, sexual intercourse and vaginal douching during the period when the wound has not yet completely healed (4 to 8 weeks after surgery). 7. Within 1 month or 2 months after the operation, go to the hospital for regular check-ups after the menstruation is over to understand the wound healing situation. 8. Chronic cervicitis has a long course and patients often lack self-confidence. You should patiently explain the condition to the patient so that he or she can build up confidence and actively cooperate with the treatment. Treatment of cervicitis 1. Physical therapy The "space capsule" extracorporeal shortwave capacitive field thermal therapy system utilizes the heat principle within the capacitive field and applies a high-frequency electromagnetic field with a frequency of 13.56 MHz. Through air coupling, it is converted into thermal energy at the patient's lesion, causing the tissue temperature to rise, causing the patient's blood vessels to dilate at the inflamed site, blood flow to accelerate, oxygen and nutrient supply to the tissue to increase, and the elimination of exudates to accelerate, resulting in enhanced excretion of pain-causing and inflammation-inducing chemicals in cell metabolic waste, which is beneficial to the dissipation of inflammation. Its biological effects can kill bacteria, mycoplasma, chlamydia, viruses and other microorganisms, thereby achieving the purpose of treating the disease. The "space capsule" extracorporeal shortwave treatment technology has many advantages: non-contact treatment, no damage to normal tissues, no pain for patients; no hospitalization, no surgery, safe and painless, no hematuria, no urine retention after treatment, and the patient can leave after treatment; fast effect, high cure rate, stable efficacy, and anti-recurrence; it embodies the non-invasive treatment method advocated by the World Health Organization, which is safe and reliable, without complications and sequelae. 2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of cervicitis with traditional Chinese medicine 1. Dampness and heat: (1) Wrap 9 grams of lentil flowers and 12 grams of Chinese toon bark in gauze, add 200 ml of water, boil and extract 150 ml. Drink in divided doses. It usually takes one week to take effect. (2) Put 30 grams of fresh silkworm excrement (wrapped in cloth) and 30 grams of Job's tears into a clay pot, add appropriate amount of water and boil it. Take it once a day for 5 to 7 days. 2. Deficiency of spleen and kidney: (1) 6g of velvet antler, 30g of ginkgo nuts, 30g of Chinese yam, and 1 pig bladder. First, clean the pig bladder, crush all the herbs, put them into the pig bladder, tie the bladder opening tightly, simmer over low heat until cooked, add a little salt to taste, and take the herbs, meat, and soup together. (2) Take 30g of Eucommia ulmoides (wrapped in cloth) and 30-60g of polished rice, cook them together into porridge, remove the residue and eat the porridge. Take one dose per day for 7-8 doses in a row. 3. Family self-treatment 1. Massage: First rub your palms to warm them up, then push your palms down and rub your lower abdomen several times, then use your palms to massage the inner thighs several times, and apply more techniques to the painful areas until you feel the heat. Finally, rub your lumbar sacral area several times with your palms, then use the rubbing method for 2 to 3 minutes to transfer the heat to your lower abdomen. 2. Application 3. Fumigation: 30g of Cnidium monnieri, 30g of Sophora flavescens, 15g of Alumen and 10g of Phellodendron amurense, decocted in water, first fumigate and then sit-bathe the genitals, suitable for damp-heat syndrome. In addition, chronic cervicitis is mainly treated locally, with different methods used according to the characteristics of the lesion. 1. Cervical erosion: Physical therapy is the most commonly used effective treatment method. It takes 3-4 weeks for the wound to heal, and 6-8 weeks for deeper lesions. Commonly used treatments include laser, freezing, infrared and microwave. Drug treatment is suitable for cases with smaller areas and shallower inflammatory infiltration. For those with deeper and wider erosions involving the cervical canal, cervical cone resection can be considered. 2. Cervical polyps: Perform polypectomy and send the removed tissue to the pathology department for examination. 3. Endocervical mucositis: Local medication has poor efficacy and requires systemic treatment. Use appropriate anti-infective drugs based on secretion culture and drug sensitivity results. 4. Cervical gland cyst: Small cysts may not be treated if they are asymptomatic. However, if the cysts are large or complicated by infection, physical therapy can be used. Cervicitis is not easy to treat, but as long as we persist in treatment, I believe there will be a day when it will be cured. During the treatment, you must follow the doctor's instructions! Actively cooperate with the treatment! And you must go to a local regular hospital for treatment, preferably a local tertiary hospital! |
