Cervicitis is a common gynecological inflammation that should be taken seriously in daily life and has a serious impact on women. Relevant prevention measures should be taken in daily life.
Causes of cervicitis
1. Mechanical stimulation or injury: The occurrence of cervicitis is related to sexual activity. Natural or artificial abortion, diagnostic curettage, and childbirth can cause cervical injury and inflammation. Adult women should pay attention to contraception to avoid or reduce induced abortion surgery
2. Pathogenic infection: Cervicitis occurs due to childbirth, miscarriage, or surgical injury. Cervicitis can be treated with some professional traditional Chinese medicine, and the main pathogens are
(1) Sexually transmitted pathogens: gonorrhoea Neisseria and mycoplasma chlamydia.
(2) Endogenous pathogens: Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, anaerobic bacteria, etc.
(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 cervicitis
1. Causing infertility: When suffering from cervicitis, there is 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, affects pregnancy, and seriously causes infertility.
2. Causing various complications: After suffering from cervical erosion, the pathogen can rise and cause the spread of uterine ligaments and lymphatic vessels in endometritis, leading to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease
3. Causing awkward symptoms: Increased vaginal discharge is the most typical symptom of cervicitis, with vaginal discharge mostly yellow or purulent, sometimes mixed with bloodstains. When cervicitis affects the trigone region of the bladder, it will cause urinary system diseases and irritation symptoms such as pain in urination, frequency of urination, or difficulty in urination.
4. Long term stimulation of chronic inflammation can cause deeper diseases such as polyps, lacerations, ectropions, and cysts.
5. Abortion: Cervicitis has also become a cause of miscarriage. Cervicitis alters tissue, decreases elasticity, and the production process is not smooth
6. Impact on sexual activity: The severe pain and bleeding symptoms that occur during sexual activity can make women dislike sexual activity and seriously affect marital relationships.
7. Improve the incidence rate of cervical cancer: the incidence rate of cervical cancer in women with cervicitis is 10 times higher than that in women without cervicitis.
Prevention of cervicitis
1. Maintain personal hygiene. Women should pay attention to hygiene and keep their external genitalia clean to prevent the invasion of bacteria.
2. Regularly undergo gynecological examinations to detect gynecological inflammation in a timely manner and seek early detection and treatment.
3. Pay attention to hygiene during physiological days, miscarriage days, and postpartum periods. Sexual intercourse and potted plants are strictly prohibited during physiological days and postpartum periods to avoid false entry of pathogenic bacteria. Individuals with irregular menstruation should be actively treated.
4. Pay attention to sexual hygiene and avoid unclean and daily sexual activities. Pay attention to cleanliness after roommates.
5. If there is no intention of pregnancy, effective contraceptive measures should be taken to avoid multiple induced abortions.
