What are the nursing measures for chronic cervicitis

Cervicitis can be divided into acute and chronic types. The former usually develops quickly and is easy to treat. However, chronic cervicitis may develop over a long period of time, causing continuous entanglement and disturbance to the patient's health. So what are the treatment and care measures for chronic cervicitis?

The main symptom of patients with chronic cervicitis is increased leucorrhea. Due to the different pathogens, the scope and degree of inflammation, the amount, color, taste and properties of leucorrhea are also different. It can be milky white mucous, light yellow purulent, or bloody. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity along the uterosacral ligament, pain in the waist and sacrum, lower abdominal pain or dysmenorrhea will occur. It will be aggravated during menstruation, defecation or sexual intercourse. Viscous purulent leucorrhea is not conducive to the passage of sperm and can cause infertility. During the examination, it can be seen that the cervix has different degrees of erosion, polyps, lacerations, eversion, glandular cysts, hypertrophy and other changes.

Nursing measures for chronic cervicitis
