Cervicitis is a common gynecological disease that poses a serious threat to women's lives and health, and there are many reasons for illness. In daily life, we must reasonably prevent it. How does cervicitis occur? Let's understand together.
The main causes of cervicitis
1. Excessive cleanliness: For healthy women, frequent vaginal flushing can also lead to inflammation. Especially when cleaning with antibacterial solution, symbiotic bacteria will be reduced, and most pathogenic bacteria will multiply in large quantities in the vagina. Some washing liquids are alkaline, damaging the acidic environment in the vagina and causing inflammation.
2. Pathogenic infections: The most common are suppurative inflammations such as Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Mycobacterium tuberculosis can cause tuberculous cervicitis, while gonococci can cause gonococcal cervicitis. In addition, viruses, actinomycetes, trichomonas, amoebas, etc. can all cause cervicitis.
3. Physical stimulation or injury: Natural or artificial abortion, diagnostic curettage, childbirth, etc., which causes mechanical stimulation or injury to the cervix. After childbirth, induced abortion, and other causes of cervical injury, bacteria can invade and easily cause cervical erosion.
How is cervicitis caused
1. Take antibiotics for coughing, fever, and headache. Unexpectedly, antibiotics may inhibit a portion of the beneficial microbiota, and pathogenic bacteria may proliferate in large numbers. Therefore, antibiotics should be used with caution.
2. Germs can multiply in large quantities on the surface of the skin, stomach, nails, and other areas. Family members and themselves suffering from ringworm, gray nails, etc. are prone to cross infection with pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, underwear must be washed separately and soaked in a specialized underwear disinfectant for a few minutes.
3. Frequent use of medication grade lotions, disinfectant pads, etc. can easily damage the weak acidic environment of the vagina. The weak acidic environment of the vagina can maintain its self-cleaning function. The women's care solution with the Jiaoyan Ph4 weak acid formula is more suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance.
4. Pay attention to the care during pregnancy. During pregnancy, sexual hormone levels, vaginal glycogen, and acidity will increase, making it susceptible to fungal invasion. For pregnant women, oral medication should not be used, but local prevention and adjuvant treatment should be chosen.
Symptoms of cervicitis
1. The main symptom of early cervicitis is an increase in vaginal discharge, sometimes the only manifestation. The symptoms of chronic cervicitis are characterized by blood lineage and a small amount of blood in the secretions, as well as contact bleeding. Irritation of the vaginal discharge can cause itching of the external genitalia.
