Chronic cervicitis is a disease that we should pay attention to. Its occurrence not only affects the normal life and work of patients, but also seriously endangers their health, and it must be actively prevented.
Causes of chronic cervicitis
1. Mechanical stimulation or injury: The occurrence of cervicitis is related to sexual activity. Natural or artificial abortion, diagnostic cervical scraping, and childbirth can cause cervical injury and inflammation. Adult women should pay attention to contraception, avoid or reduce artificial abortion surgery, pay attention to postpartum hygiene, and avoid postpartum infection.
2. Pathogenic infection: Cervicitis caused by childbirth, miscarriage, or surgical injury. Cervicitis can be treated with some professional traditional Chinese medicine, and the main pathogens are:
(1) Pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases: Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia mycoplasma.
(2) Endogenous pathogens include Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, and anaerobic bacteria.
(3) Other: There are trichomonas and amoebas in the protozoa. Special situations are caused by chemicals and radiation.
3. Chemical stimulation: Washing the vagina with potassium permanganate solution or placing suppositories in the vagina can cause cervicitis.
4. Vaginal foreign body infection: Vaginal foreign body infection causes cervicitis.
The hazards of chronic cervicitis
1. Complications: Chronic cervicitis causes inflammation such as cervical erosion and polyps, resulting in white mucinous leukorrhea, with severe cases being yellow or purulent. When polyps occur, the symptoms worsen, and bloody leukorrhea leads to bleeding after sexual intercourse
2. Causing other gynecological diseases: The pathogen of chronic cervicitis spreads through the parauterine ligaments and lymphatic vessels, causing chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. When the inflammatory surface of endometritis is severely expanded, there are many urinary system diseases such as painful urination and frequent urination.
3. Infertility: When chronic cervicitis is severe, cervical damage, abnormal cervical secretion, increased cervical secretion, sticky texture, and high white blood cells can affect female fertility.
4. Cervical malignancy: There is no significant scientific evidence to prove that chronic cervicitis can cause cervical cancer, but surveys have shown that patients with chronic cervicitis have a particularly high probability of inducing cervical cancer.
Prevention of chronic cervicitis
1. Do a good job in family planning, avoid unplanned pregnancies, avoid or avoid induced abortions, take contraceptive measures, and try to avoid mechanical damage to the cervix caused by multiple abortions. At the same time, gynecological surgery operations should be strictly sterile to prevent iatrogenic infections and injuries.
