What are some ways to prevent cervicitis?

The symptoms of cervicitis mainly include increased vaginal discharge, changes in color and texture, abnormal vaginal bleeding, bleeding after sexual intercourse, vulvar itching, lower back and abdominal pain, dysuria, etc. The symptoms of acute cervicitis also include systemic symptoms such as fever and loss of appetite.

Cervicitis can be prevented from the following aspects:

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene: keep the vulva clean and dry, avoid using irritating cleaning products, change underwear every day, and avoid wearing tight underwear.

2. Avoid bad sexual behaviors: Avoid multiple sexual partners and bad sexual behaviors, such as not using condoms during sexual intercourse.

3. Regular check-ups: Regular gynecological examinations, especially cervical cytology and HPV testing, can detect cervical lesions in a timely manner and prevent the occurrence of cervicitis.

4. Avoid excessive cleaning: Frequent use of pharmaceutical-grade cleansing liquids, disinfected sanitary pads, etc. can easily destroy the weakly acidic environment of the vagina. The weakly acidic environment of the vagina can maintain the self-cleaning function of the vagina and prevent infection. Do not use various flushing liquids to avoid damaging the natural protective barrier of the vagina, which will make you more annoyed the more you wash.

5. Treat partners together: If a woman is infected with cervicitis, her sexual partner also needs to be treated at the same time to avoid cross infection.

6. Correct contraception: Estrogen in contraceptive pills can promote fungal invasion. If cervicitis recurs, try not to use contraceptive drugs.

7. Enhance immunity: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as regular work and rest, healthy diet, and moderate exercise, can help improve the body's immunity and prevent the occurrence of cervicitis.

8. Pay attention to hygiene during pregnancy: Pregnant women have low immunity and are easily infected by bacteria and viruses. Pay attention to hygiene during pregnancy, keep a happy mood, and get adequate rest and exercise.

There are many ways to prevent cervicitis, from personal hygiene to a healthy lifestyle. Paying attention to details and maintaining good living habits can help prevent the occurrence of cervicitis.
