    Symptoms of cervicitis mainly include increased vaginal discharge, contact bleeding, vulvar itching, lower abdominal pain, frequent urination and urgency. Cervicitis is inflammation of the cervical mucosa and submucosal tissue, which may be related to pathogen infection, mechanical stimulation, chemical stimulation and other factors.

    1. Increased vaginal discharge

    Patients with cervicitis often experience an increase in vaginal secretions, which may be yellow or yellow-green, sticky in texture, and may be accompanied by an odor. This situation is mostly related to bacterial infections, such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, etc. Patients should pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and avoid using irritating lotions. They can follow the doctor's instructions and use Baofukang suppository, Xiaomi suppository, Fuyankang tablets and other drugs for treatment.

    2. Contact bleeding

    People with cervicitis may experience contact bleeding, which appears as a small amount of bright red blood, after sexual intercourse or a gynecological examination. This situation may be related to congestion and erosion of cervical mucosa. Patients should avoid strenuous sexual life and seek medical examination promptly to rule out cervical precancerous lesions. Doctors may recommend the use of recombinant human interferon α2b vaginal effervescent tablets, anti-metritis tablets, cervicitis Kang suppositories and other drugs.

    3. Vulvar itching

    Cervicitis may cause vulvar itching, which is caused by inflammatory secretions that irritate the vulvar skin. Patients should avoid scratching, wear cotton breathable underwear, and keep the vulva dry. Clotrimazole vaginal tablets, miconazole nitrate suppositories, sophora flavescens gel and other drugs can be used as directed by the doctor to relieve symptoms and treat the primary infection at the same time.

    4. Lower abdominal pain

    Some patients with cervicitis will experience lower abdominal pain, which may radiate to the lumbosacral region. This condition is more common when inflammation involves the tissues surrounding the uterus. Patients should pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue. Local hot compresses can be used to relieve discomfort. Doctors may prescribe gynecological Qianjin tablets, Jingangteng capsules, Penyanjing capsules and other drugs for treatment.

    5. Frequent urination and urgent urination

    When cervical inflammation spreads to the trigone area of ​​the bladder, it may cause urinary system symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. Patients should drink more water to promote urination and avoid holding urine. It needs to be differentiated from urinary system infection, and routine urine examination should be performed if necessary. Sanjin Tablets, Relinqing Granules, Yinhua Miyanling Tablets and other drugs can be used in conjunction with the treatment.

    Patients with cervicitis should pay attention to keeping the vulva clean, avoid unclean sex, and undergo regular gynecological examinations. You should eat a light diet, consume more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Proper exercise can help strengthen immunity, but strenuous exercise should be avoided. When the above symptoms occur, you should seek medical treatment promptly and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid self-medication and delaying the condition. During the treatment period, the entire course of medication should be completed as directed by the doctor. Even if the symptoms are relieved, the medication should not be stopped without authorization.
