What disease will cervicitis turn into after it becomes serious?

Severe cervicitis may develop into cervical cancer, which requires timely treatment and regular screening. Long-term untreated cervicitis or repeated infections may lead to abnormal proliferation of cervical epithelial cells, which may then develop into cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and eventually cervical cancer. Treatments for cervicitis include medication, physical therapy, and surgery. At the same time, you need to pay attention to personal hygiene and regular check-ups.

1. Drug treatment: Commonly used drugs include antibiotics such as azithromycin and doxycycline, antiviral drugs such as acyclovir, and antifungal drugs such as fluconazole. These drugs can effectively control infection and reduce inflammation.

2. Physical therapy: including cryotherapy, laser therapy and electrocautery. These methods destroy abnormal tissues and promote the regeneration of healthy tissues, and are suitable for moderate to severe cervicitis.

3. Surgical treatment: For severe cases, cervical conization or total hysterectomy may be required. Cervical conization can preserve uterine function by removing abnormal tissue; total hysterectomy is suitable for situations where the uterus cannot be preserved.

4. Personal hygiene: Keeping the vulva clean and dry, avoiding the use of irritating lotions, changing underwear frequently, and avoiding unclean sexual behavior will help prevent the recurrence of cervicitis.

5. Regular check-ups: It is recommended to undergo cervical cytology (TCT) and human papillomavirus (HPV) testing once a year to detect and treat cervical lesions early and reduce the risk of cervical cancer.

Severe cervicitis may develop into cervical cancer and requires prompt treatment and regular screening. Through medication, physical therapy and surgery, combined with good personal hygiene habits and regular checkups, cervicitis can be effectively controlled and prevented from developing into more serious diseases.
