Many women think that the cervix and Cervicitis are the same disease, and they will be treated when they find these two diseases. However, in fact, cervical erosion and Cervicitis are different, belonging to two types, so female friends should not be confused. The symptoms of these two types of occurrences are the same, and women may not be able to distinguish them. In fact, although some symptoms of cervical erosion and Cervicitis are the same, cervical erosion is not a disease, and Cervicitis is caused by inflammation, so female friends should distinguish between these two points.
What is the difference between cervical erosion and Cervicitis?
cervical erosion
To be specific, cervical erosion, the peculiar smell of cervical columnar epithelium stimulated by the skin, is a normal physiological phenomenon, which generally has no special symptoms. Some women may have more leucorrhea, but the shape and taste of leucorrhea are not abnormal. At present, some gynecological treatments for cervical erosion are generally to treat Cervicitis, and simple cervical erosion does not need treatment.
Cervicitis
A gynecological disease caused by inflammation of the cervix and vagina. Because the epithelium of the cervical tube is Simple columnar epithelium, the ability to resist disease here is relatively poor, so it is vulnerable to the invasion of bacteria and serious. Cervicitis is generally divided into acute and chronic. Acute Cervicitis usually has an increase in Vaginal discharge, and leucorrhea is purulent. Because of the increase in secretions, the vulva will appear itching and bleeding after sexual intercourse. Some patients will also be associated with urinary tract infection, showing symptoms such as urgency, frequency, and pain in urination. The symptoms of chronic Cervicitis are similar to those of acute Cervicitis, which is also characterized by an increase in leucorrhea, bleeding after sexual intercourse and other symptoms of vulva discomfort. When checking chronic Cervicitis, you will find that there is yellow secretion covering the cervical opening or the secretion will flow from the cervical opening, and there will also be Cervical polyp.
For Cervicitis, timely treatment is very important. Generally, patients take oral antibiotics and Topical medication according to the degree of inflammation. Local physical therapy is performed for severe inflammation accompanied by cervical hypertrophy. After physical therapy, traditional Chinese medicine is used for adjuvant treatment.
In general, both Cervicitis and cervical erosion are physiological or pathological symptoms of the uterus. Women should pay attention to that regular cervical examination is the main measure to avoid cervical diseases. In addition, if cervical erosion is found, it is necessary to first distinguish whether it is physiological or pathological caused by Cervicitis, so as to judge whether cervical erosion needs treatment.
