A brief analysis of the three main diagnostic methods for chronic cervicitis

Since chronic cervicitis does little harm to women's health, many female friends ignore the treatment of chronic cervicitis, which results in more serious cervical diseases, which is very unfavorable to patients. What are the main diagnostic methods for chronic cervicitis ? The following will tell you about the main diagnostic methods for chronic cervicitis.

In general, the main diagnostic methods for chronic cervicitis are:

1. According to clinical manifestations: 1. Symptoms. Increased vaginal discharge, white and sticky or yellow-green purulent. Patients feel back pain, lower abdominal discomfort, vulvar itching or stinging when urinating. If gonococci are caused, there is often fever. 2. Signs: Cervical congestion and edema, local contact bleeding; in severe cases, the epithelium on the surface of the cervix is ​​peeled off, necrotized, and ulcerated, the cervical mucosa is turned outward, and a large amount of purulent mucus is discharged from the cervical canal. This is a common diagnostic method for chronic cervicitis.

2. Pathological examination: The squamous epithelium of the cervix is ​​shed, the endometrial glands secrete hyperactively, and a large number of neutrophils infiltrate the stroma and around the glands; in severe cases, neutrophils can invade the surface layer and even the glandular epithelial cells. Tissue edema, vascular dilation and congestion, but pathological examination is generally not performed during the acute inflammation period. This is also a common diagnostic method for chronic cervicitis.

3. Secretion smear: The diagnosis method of this chronic cervicitis is to check and culture the smear, which shows a large number of pus cells, and bacteria can be found when performing Gram staining; secretion culture can culture pathogenic bacteria. After wiping off the secretions on the outer surface of the cervix, insert a small cotton swab into the endocervical canal to take it out. The naked eye can see yellow or yellow-green mucopurulent secretions on the white cotton swab. If there are more than 30 neutrophils per high-power field of view under the light microscope or more than 10 neutrophils per oil microscope field of view, MPC can be diagnosed. MPC patients should be tested for gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis to identify the pathogen.

The above is an introduction to the main diagnostic methods of chronic cervicitis. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once diagnosed with chronic cervicitis, you must go to a regular gynecological hospital for treatment in time to recover as soon as possible.
