Can cervical inflammation be detected by B-ultrasound?

Cervical inflammation cannot usually be diagnosed directly through B-ultrasound examination, but B-ultrasound can help rule out other gynecological diseases. The diagnosis of cervical inflammation mainly relies on gynecological examination, secretion detection and cervical cytology examination. B-ultrasound is mainly used to observe the structure of organs such as the uterus and ovaries, and cannot directly show the microscopic changes of cervical inflammation.

1. The role and limitations of B-ultrasound

B-ultrasound is a commonly used imaging examination method, mainly used to observe the morphology and structure of organs such as the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. For cervical inflammation, B-ultrasound can assist in excluding cervical polyps, cervical cysts, or other organic lesions, but it cannot directly detect the inflammatory response of the cervical mucosa. The diagnosis of cervical inflammation relies more on the gynecologist's naked eye observation, secretion testing, and cervical cytology examination.

2. Diagnosis of cervical inflammation

The diagnosis of cervicitis usually includes the following steps:

Gynecological examination: The doctor examines the cervix through a colposcope to see if there are signs of inflammation such as congestion, edema, and erosion.

Discharge testing: A sample of cervical discharge is examined under a microscope or cultured to determine if there is any infection by pathogens, such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses.

Cervical cytology test (TCT): A test that collects cervical cell samples to screen for precancerous lesions or infections.

3. Treatment of cervical inflammation

Treatment of cervicitis requires a personalized plan based on the cause and severity:

Drug treatment: Antibiotics such as azithromycin and doxycycline can be used for bacterial infections, antifungal drugs such as fluconazole can be used for fungal infections, and antiviral drugs such as acyclovir are required for viral infections.

Physical therapy: For chronic cervical inflammation, physical therapy methods such as laser, freezing or microwave can be used to promote the disappearance of inflammation.

Adjustment of lifestyle habits: Keep the vulva clean, avoid using irritating lotions, pay attention to sexual hygiene, and enhance immunity.

4. When do you need medical attention?

If you experience symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge, bleeding after sexual intercourse, or lower abdominal pain, you should seek medical attention immediately. The doctor will develop a treatment plan based on the symptoms and examination results to avoid worsening inflammation or causing other complications.

The diagnosis and treatment of cervicitis requires a combination of multiple examination methods. Although B-ultrasound cannot directly confirm the diagnosis, it plays an important role in excluding other diseases. Timely medical treatment and compliance are the key to controlling cervicitis.
