Understand the examination and diagnosis methods of acute cervicitis

Acute cervicitis is mainly caused by miscarriage and surgery, and is a common gynecological disease. So, what are the examination and diagnosis methods for acute cervicitis? Let us introduce it in detail.

Acute cervicitis is mainly seen in infected abortion, puerperal infection, cervical injury or vaginal foreign body infection. Common pathogens are Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, etc. At present, the most common pathogens of acute cervicitis are Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis. Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis both infect the columnar epithelium of the cervical canal, spread along the mucosal surface to cause superficial infection, and cause mucopurulent cervical mucositis. So, what are the examination and diagnosis methods for acute cervicitis?

1. Clinical manifestations: The main symptoms are increased vaginal discharge, which is mucopurulent. The stimulation of vaginal discharge can cause vulvar itching, accompanied by backache and lower abdominal pain. In addition, there are often lower urinary tract symptoms, such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, and urinary pain. Chlamydia trachomatis infection can also cause symptoms such as increased menstrual flow, intermenstrual bleeding, and post-coital bleeding. This is one of the diagnostic methods for acute cervicitis.

Gynecological examination shows congestion, edema, and erosion of the cervix, with mucopurulent secretions flowing out of the cervical canal. Chlamydia cervicitis can cause redness and swelling of the cervix, mucosal eversion, cervical tenderness, and often contact bleeding. Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection can also cause congestion and edema of the mucosa of the urethra and vaginal openings, as well as a large amount of purulent secretions.

2. Diagnosis: Acute cervicitis can be diagnosed based on cervical congestion and edema, mucopurulent secretions in the cervical canal, and more than 10 neutrophils per oil microscope field in the cervical mucus Gram stain smear. The key to diagnosis is to identify the pathogen.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has understood the examination and diagnosis methods of acute cervicitis. I would like to remind everyone to pay attention to hygiene in life to prevent the occurrence of diseases.
