What are the preventive measures for cervicitis?

Cervicitis is a common gynecological disease, mainly caused by infection. Depending on the pathogen of the infection, cervicitis can be divided into acute cervicitis and chronic cervicitis. The symptoms of acute cervicitis include redness and swelling of the cervix, edema of the cervical mucosa, increased purulent vaginal discharge, etc., sometimes accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region. The symptoms of chronic cervicitis include cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, cervical glandular cysts and cervical eversion, etc., sometimes accompanied by symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, contact bleeding and lower abdominal pain.

The preventive measures for cervicitis mainly include the following aspects:

2. Avoid unclean sexual life: Be sure to clean the vulva and penis before sexual intercourse, avoid unclean sexual life and multiple sexual partners to reduce the chance of infection.
