How to treat cervicitis?

The treatment of cervicitis requires the selection of appropriate methods based on the cause and severity, such as antibiotics, physical therapy or surgical intervention. The specific method needs to be evaluated and formulated by a doctor.

Cervicitis is often caused by bacterial or viral infection, poor hygiene habits or low immunity, and is usually divided into two types: acute and chronic. Acute cervicitis is mostly caused by infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia or other pathogens, causing local redness, swelling, pain and increased secretions; chronic cervicitis often forms lesions such as erosions, polyps or cysts due to long-term inflammatory stimulation. In terms of treatment, mild infections are often treated with antibiotics, such as cephalosporins for gonococcal infections, azithromycin for chlamydia infections, or metronidazole for anaerobic infections. For cervical erosion caused by chronic inflammation, doctors may recommend physical therapy, including laser, cryosurgery or high-frequency electrosurgical treatment. If symptoms such as cervical polyps or cysts appear, further treatment can be performed through surgery such as cervical polypectomy, LEEP knife surgery, etc., but the possibility of malignant lesions must be ruled out.

During treatment and recovery, patients should follow professional advice and avoid abusing drugs or taking unscientific treatments. Keep clean and avoid frequent washing and unsafe sex. Strengthen immunity and improve physical health through a balanced diet, more vitamins, and regular exercise. Have regular gynecological examinations, especially for patients with chronic cervicitis, to prevent recurrence or deterioration of the disease. If symptoms recur or are accompanied by abnormal bleeding or lower abdominal pain, seek medical attention immediately to ensure the timeliness and effectiveness of treatment.
