How to check cervicitis to know whether it is serious

The severity of cervicitis can be determined through gynecological examinations and related auxiliary examinations. If there are obvious symptoms or concerns, you should seek medical attention in time and choose professional diagnostic methods.

Cervicitis is a common gynecological disease, and its severity is mainly reflected in the scope of the lesion, the type (acute or chronic) and whether there are complications. Generally speaking, it may manifest as increased vaginal discharge, odor or lower abdominal discomfort, but some women have no obvious symptoms.

Doctors usually evaluate the condition through gynecological examination, colposcopy, cervical scraping or TCT examination, and HPV test when necessary. If there are abnormalities, such as purulent leucorrhea and obvious cervical congestion and erosion, it may indicate that the inflammation is more serious. Chronic cervicitis also needs to be checked for pathological changes, such as cervical polyps or cervical precancerous lesions.

You can prevent cervicitis from getting worse by paying attention to personal hygiene, avoiding unnecessary uterine cavity operations, and maintaining good immunity. If you find any abnormalities during the physical examination, it is recommended that you ask a gynecologist for further examination and receive targeted treatment as soon as possible.
