Chronic cervicitis is a familiar disease that seriously affects the health and life of patients after illness. It is necessary to pay attention to its etiology and reasonable prevention.
Can chronic cervicitis affect pregnancy?
Chronic cervicitis is currently one of the most common gynecological diseases, as its symptoms are relatively clear and can be detected through simple gynecological examinations, making it a relatively easy disease to detect. Chronic cervicitis often occurs in combination with other gynecological diseases and is often overlooked. The manifestations of chronic cervicitis are cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, and other clinical diseases such as increased vaginal discharge and abnormalities in women with chronic cervicitis. Chronic cervicitis can affect pregnancy as it prevents sperm from entering the uterus.
Chronic cervicitis affects pregnancy. Pregnant women who suffer from chronic cervicitis should receive timely and early treatment to avoid pregnancy. If long-term pregnancy is not fully treated, the likelihood of miscarriage, premature birth, and other complications is high.
Causes of chronic cervicitis
1. Mechanical stimulation or injury: The cervix is the boundary between the vagina and uterus, and the onset of chronic cervicitis is closely related to sexual activity. Abortion, diagnostic curettage and natural childbirth may damage the cervix and cause inflammation. Therefore, women must take contraceptive measures to avoid or reduce abortion, as well as postpartum care to avoid infection.
2. Infection pathogens: when the cervix is infected with pathogens, it will produce inflammatory reaction. The pathogens that can cause cervicitis can be divided into the following categories: sexually transmitted pathogens: mainly mycoplasma, chlamydia and gonorrhoea Neisseria; Endogenous pathogens: Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, anaerobic bacteria, etc; Other pathogens: Trichomonas and amoeba.
3. Chemical stimulation: Mainly some vaginal topical drugs can stimulate the cervix, leading to inflammation. For example, potassium permanganate solution used for vaginal flushing, or certain suppositories. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone use these drugs with caution.
4. Infection caused by foreign objects in the vagina: The body has a rejection reaction to foreign objects. If there are foreign objects in the vagina, it can lead to secondary infection and cause cervicitis.
Hazards of chronic cervicitis
1. Causing complications: When suffering from chronic cervicitis, it can cause inflammation in other organs, such as: the pathogen of chronic cervicitis can ascend and cause endometritis; Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can be caused by the spread of parametrial ligaments and lymphatic vessels; When the inflammation spreads to the bladder triangle, it can cause diseases of the urinary system and irritation symptoms such as pain in urination, frequency of urination, or difficulty in urination.
