The emergence of Cervicitis has made many patients particularly distressed. It is also a disease that we should pay attention to prevention, especially its pathogenic factors, so that targeted prevention and treatment can be achieved.
How Cervicitis is caused
1. Pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases: Neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis, Herpes simplex virus and mycoplasma genitalium, mainly seen in high-risk groups of sexually transmitted diseases.
2. Endogenous pathogens: some pathogens of Cervicitis are the same as those causing Bacterial vaginosis. But the pathogens of some patients are not clear. Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae both infect the columnar epithelium of the cervical canal, spreading along the mucosal surface and causing superficial infection, with the lesion being evident in the cervical canal. In addition to the columnar epithelium of the cervix, Neisseria gonorrhoeae often invades the urethral mobile epithelium, paraurethral glands and Bartholin's gland.
Causes of Cervicitis
1. Sexual life: sexual life also brings Linococcus, Chlamydia trachomatis, etc. to vaginal infection, which is the cause of Cervicitis. In addition, semen attached to the vagina can increase the alkalinity of the vagina, thus making the environment in the vagina alkaline, increasing the number of pathogenic bacteria, and prone to Cervicitis.
2. Excessive cleaning shadow: For healthy women, frequent vaginal cleaning is also the cause of Cervicitis. Especially when using antibacterial solution for flushing, it will reduce symbiotic bacteria, allowing more pathogenic bacteria to multiply in large numbers in the vagina. Some washing liquids are alkaline, damaging the acidic environment in the vagina and causing inflammation.
3. Delivery, delivery, abortion, etc.: The cause of Cervicitis is that after the cervix is damaged, pathogenic bacteria invade, which is easy to cause cervical erosion. In addition, bacteria enter the uterus and fallopian tubes through uterine tubes, causing infection. At the same time, because the urethra and anus all open near the vagina, it is easy to pollute the Vaginal orifice when defecating and urinating, resulting in infection.
Cervicitis hazard
1. Induce gynecological inflammation: the factor is that the squamous epithelium at the vaginal part of the cervical tube continues with the vaginal squamous, and Vaginitis can cause various gynecological inflammation, such as Endometritis, pelvic inflammation, etc.
2. Causing infertility: Inflammation causes a significant increase in cervical secretions, with a thick texture and abundant white blood cells, which has a negative impact on sperm motility, hinders sperm entry into the uterine cavity, and affects pregnancy.
3. Carcinogenicity: Cervicitis is closely related to Cervical cancer. Due to the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, atypical hyperplasia of the cervical columnar epithelium can occur. If not treated in a timely manner, it may lead to local cancer, such as cervical cancer.
