Is chronic cervicitis serious?

Although chronic cervicitis is common, it is not a serious disease. Most patients can be cured and avoid complications through timely treatment and preventive measures. Chronic cervicitis is a common gynecological disease. Its cause may be related to the failure to thoroughly treat acute cervicitis, the hiding of pathogens in the cervical mucosa, and long-term chronic mechanical damage. The disease has a higher incidence rate in married women, and the main symptoms include cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, etc. Chronic cervicitis is often accompanied by mycoplasma and chlamydia infections.

2. Diagnosis: The diagnosis of chronic cervicitis is mainly based on the patient's symptoms and the doctor's gynecological examination. The doctor will observe the appearance of the cervix to see if there are erosions, hypertrophy, polyps and other lesions, and collect cervical secretions for relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis.

3. Treatment: The treatment methods for chronic cervicitis mainly include drug therapy, physical therapy and surgical treatment. Drug therapy mainly selects appropriate antibiotics for pathogens; physical therapy mainly includes laser, freezing, microwave, etc.; surgical treatment is mainly used to treat lesions such as cervical polyps.

4. Prevention: The key to preventing chronic cervicitis is to keep the vulva clean, avoid unclean sexual behavior, and have regular gynecological examinations.

During the treatment process, patients should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan and undergo regular checkups to ensure the treatment effect and their own health. At the same time, maintaining a good living habit and mentality can also help prevent the occurrence and recurrence of chronic cervicitis.
