What causes cervicitis?

Cervicitis is one of the common gynecological diseases. It has many causes, which may be caused by bad habits, cervical injury, pathogen infection and other factors, and should be taken seriously.

1. Bad habits

1. Unclean sexual life: Not paying attention to hygiene during sexual life, such as not using condoms, having too many sexual partners, etc., will increase the risk of cervicitis.

2. Vaginal douching: Frequent use of acidic or alkaline solutions to douch the vagina will disrupt the acid-base balance and flora balance in the vagina, leading to the occurrence of cervicitis.

3. Not paying attention to hygiene: Not washing the vulva regularly and not changing underwear frequently may lead to bacterial growth and infection.

2. Cervical injury

1. Sexual intercourse stimulation: Frequent sexual intercourse or improper posture during sexual intercourse may cause cervical damage, thus providing opportunities for pathogens to invade.

2. Abortion and childbirth: Whether it is abortion or childbirth, these processes will cause damage to the cervix. If you do not pay attention to hygiene or have low immunity at this time, infection is likely to occur.

3. Diagnostic curettage: This is also a medical procedure that may cause cervical injury, which may cause cervical injury and increase the incidence of cervicitis.

3. Pathogen Infection

1. Exogenous pathogens: such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis, which are mainly transmitted through sexual contact and are common in people at high risk of sexually transmitted diseases. However, as long as the sex life is not chaotic, the risk of infection from these pathogens will be greatly reduced.

2. Endogenous pathogens: such as bacterial vaginosis pathogens, Trichomonas, Candida, etc. These pathogens exist in the female body, but under certain conditions such as decreased immunity, changes in the vaginal environment, etc., they may cause cervicitis.

Note: To prevent cervicitis, women should pay attention to personal hygiene, avoid unclean sex, and have regular gynecological examinations. If you have any discomfort, you need to seek medical help in time.
