What complications can cervicitis cause?

If cervicitis is not treated promptly and effectively, it may cause serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, and cervical precancerous lesions, which need to be taken seriously. Its complications can affect reproductive health and even threaten life, so prevention and early intervention are particularly important.

Cervicitis often spreads to the pelvic cavity due to untreated infection, followed by pelvic inflammatory disease, including endometritis and salpingitis, which leads to pelvic pain, irregular vaginal bleeding, and even fallopian tube blockage, increasing the risk of ectopic pregnancy or infertility. Chronic cervicitis can cause cervical epithelial lesions, such as cervical erosion. If there is high-risk human papillomavirus infection, it may develop into cervical precancerous lesions, posing a serious threat to women's health. Other complications may also include menstrual disorders and abnormal leucorrhea caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation, further affecting the quality of life.

To avoid these complications, regular gynecological examinations are recommended, especially for women with chronic cervicitis. Good personal hygiene habits should be maintained on a daily basis, and underwear should be changed frequently to avoid wearing tight clothing for a long time. Avoid unclean sexual life. At the same time, follow the doctor's instructions to complete the entire course of treatment during treatment, and do not stop the medication at will. If the symptoms are severe or cause the spread of infection, you should go to a regular hospital for standardized treatment in time, including antibacterial treatment or physical therapy, and surgical correction if necessary, to recover as soon as possible.
