How long does it take to treat chronic cervicitis?

Chronic cervicitis refers to the infiltration of a large number of lymphocytes and plasma cells in the cervical stroma, which can be manifested as glandular epithelial hyperplasia, stromal hyperplasia and squamous metaplasia. Chronic cervicitis can be caused by acute cervicitis or persistent infection by pathogens, and can be manifested as true cervical erosion, polyps, hypertrophy, and endocervical mucositis. The main clinical manifestation is increased vaginal secretions. If the secretions are viscous, it will hinder the passage of sperm and lead to infertility.

If acute cervicitis is not treated, it will become chronic cervicitis.

How long does chronic cervicitis last varies from person to person:

1. For chronic cervicitis caused by persistent infection with pathogens, it can generally be cured within 10-14 days after targeted antibiotic treatment.

2. For chronic cervicitis with unclear pathogens and recurrent attacks, physical therapy is recommended, which can usually be cured within 6-8 weeks.

The cure time for chronic cervicitis should be determined based on the treatment method and condition of the patient.

Patients with chronic cervicitis should also pay attention to the following aspects during treatment:

1. Patients should reduce their sexual life or prohibit sexual life during treatment. This can ensure that the treatment effect is more prominent. They should also ensure a light diet and avoid eating raw, cold, spicy, seafood, tobacco, alcohol and other irritants to avoid negative effects and increase the difficulty of treatment.

2. Patients with chronic cervicitis should pay special attention to personal hygiene, avoid unclean sexual intercourse, and avoid changing underwear frequently. Often use boiling water to scald underwear, and it is better to expose underwear to the sun. Usually, the vulva should be kept clean and dry to prevent bacterial growth and aggravate inflammation and infection.

3. Patients should pay more attention to the treatment of the disease and prevent adverse factors from making the patient's condition worse. During the treatment process, they should maintain a good attitude, and a comfortable mood is very conducive to the recovery of the disease.
