Cervicitis is a relatively common gynecological disease. The majority of patients with cervicitis are married women who have sex, and without sex, they will not develop cervicitis.
What is the cause of cervicitis?
1. Unclean sexual life
This is also the reason why many women believe that this disease only occurs in women who have sex. The main reason is that due to not paying attention to the hygiene of sexual life, pathogenic bacteria can easily lead to infection through sexual life, leading to cervicitis disease. In addition, prematurely having sex among some adolescent girls who have not given birth is the main reason for the rejuvenation of cervicitis.
2. Abortion and Postpartum Infections
Due to the fact that abortion and childbirth can involve the uterine cavity and cervix of female friends, many women undergo gynecological surgery such as abortion, childbirth, and curettage, resulting in varying degrees of cervical injury due to some reasons, and lack of attention to care after surgery, leading to pathogens easily becoming infected with the cervix, causing cervicitis.
3. Pathogen infection
Common pathogens in daily life, such as Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus, and Escherichia coli, can easily cause suppurative inflammation and eventually cervicitis. In addition, if female friends often use some acidic or alkaline solution to rinse the vagina, or put suppositories into the vagina, it is also easy to cause cervicitis.
How to prevent cervicitis?
1. Sitting for long periods of time:
It is well known that habitual sitting for a long time can lead to blocked blood circulation, but more importantly, women who sit for a long time have poor perineal ventilation, blocked blood circulation, and are prone to cervicitis.
2. Sexual cleanliness:
Not only should we pay attention to the hygiene of sexual life, but also control the frequency of sexual life, avoid multiple sexual partners, extramarital sexual behavior, physiological daily sexual intercourse, and other bad habits, and eliminate the possibility of cervicitis.
3. Care for miscarriages and after childbirth:
"It is important to prevent cervicitis. If cervical lacerations are found, suture treatment should be carried out in a timely manner. Due to the gradual decline in the local tissue immunity of the cervix after childbirth, it is easy to become infected and pathogenic by external bacteria.". Therefore, it is best to use drugs that can improve immunity and enhance their own resistance to prevent the occurrence of diseases.
4. To prevent damage to the cervix:
During gynecological surgery and examination, select a regular and experienced gynecologist to reduce the damage of surgical instruments to the cervix and prevent cervicitis.
5. Attend regular gynecological examinations:
Women should regularly participate in gynecological examinations, especially not to ignore the role of cervical biopsy. Early detection and treatment are fundamental to preventing cervicitis.
6. Pay attention to hygiene at each stage:
It is also an important aspect of preventing cervicitis. It is important to pay attention to vaginal hygiene, especially during the menstrual, reproductive, and puerperal periods, which are key protective periods. In addition, women of childbearing age should undergo regular gynecological examinations in order to prevent and treat cervicitis as early as possible. Cervicitis should be found in time and treated early. Because it is regarded as a high-risk factor of cervical cancer, early treatment can greatly reduce the incidence rate of cervical cancer.
