Causes of chronic cervicitis

Chronic cervicitis is usually caused by pathogenic infection, mechanical injury, chemical stimulation, endocrine disorders and immune factors.

1.Pathogen infection

Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis and other sexually transmitted pathogens are common pathogenic microorganisms, which need to be confirmed through cervical secretion culture. Mycoplasma infection can cause congestion and edema of the cervical mucosa, which is manifested by increased leucorrhea and odor. Treatment requires the use of sensitive antibiotics based on drug sensitivity results, such as azithromycin tablets, doxycycline capsules, etc.

2. Mechanical damage

Multiple abortions, childbirth lacerations, or gynecological surgical procedures may cause cervical tissue damage and damage the mucosal barrier function. Cervical erosion-like changes are likely to occur during the repair process after injury, and contact bleeding can be seen clinically. It is recommended to avoid frequent uterine cavity operations and perform cervical repair surgery when necessary.

3. Chemical stimulation

Long-term use of high-concentration vaginal washes or condom lubricants may change the local acid-base environment of the cervix. The benzalkonium chloride ingredient in some antiseptic suppositories can disrupt the balance of normal flora. If cervical congestion is accompanied by burning sensation, irritating products should be stopped and lactobacilli vaginal capsules should be used to regulate the microecology.

4. Endocrine disorders

Abnormal progesterone levels can cause cervical columnar epithelial migration and changes in mucus secretion characteristics. It is common in oral contraceptive users or perimenopausal women and has a typical "strawberry-like" appearance on cervical examination. Progesterone soft capsules can be used short-term to regulate hormone levels.

5.Immune factors

AIDS patients or those who use immunosuppressants for a long time are prone to recurrent cervical infections. Reduced local IgA secretion makes it easier for pathogens to colonize and may progress to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. It is recommended to conduct regular TCT examinations and use interferon suppositories to enhance local immunity when necessary.

Daily care should be taken to keep the vulva clean and dry, and avoid wearing tight chemical fiber underwear. Have moderate sex and use condoms, and avoid taking baths during menstruation. Gynecological examinations and cervical cancer screenings should be performed every year. If abnormal vaginal discharge or intercourse bleeding occurs, you should seek medical treatment promptly. In your diet, you should consume more dark-colored vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins A and C, and limit spicy and irritating foods.
