How to prevent cervicitis

Cervicitis is an inflammatory disease that occurs in the cervix. It is one of the most common diseases in women. It may be caused by pathogenic microorganisms or mechanical stimulation. In most cases, cervicitis does not cause pain, unless the cervicitis causes ascending infection, leading to endometritis, myometritis, etc., in which case pain and discomfort may occur.

Methods to prevent cervicitis include the following:

1. Pay attention to sexual hygiene: Keep clean before and after sex. Using condoms can reduce the risk of cervicitis. At the same time, avoid multiple sexual partners and unclean sexual behavior.

2. Regular gynecological examinations: Regular cervical cytology and HPV testing can help detect cervical lesions at an early stage.

3. Avoid damage to the cervix during childbirth and abortion: Protect the health of the cervix and avoid unnecessary surgical injuries.

4. Actively treat acute cervicitis: If acute cervicitis is not treated thoroughly, it can easily turn into chronic cervicitis. Therefore, acute cervicitis should be actively treated.

5. Pay attention to personal hygiene: keep the vulva clean and dry, and avoid using strong irritating cleansers.

6. Enhance immunity: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, increasing exercise, and enhancing immunity can help prevent cervicitis.

7. Avoid long-term use of antibiotics: Long-term use of antibiotics can easily disrupt the balance of vaginal flora and increase the risk of infection.

8. Pay attention to health care during pregnancy: Pay attention to personal hygiene and health care during pregnancy to avoid cervicitis during pregnancy.

Prevention of cervicitis requires multiple aspects, including paying attention to sexual hygiene, regular gynecological examinations, avoiding damage to the cervix, actively treating acute cervicitis, paying attention to personal hygiene, and enhancing immunity.
