How to treat cervicitis

Cervicitis can be treated by improving living habits, physical therapy, Chinese patent medicine treatment, Western medicine treatment, surgical treatment, etc. Cervicitis is usually caused by pathogenic infection, mechanical stimulation, chemical stimulation, radiation damage, immune factors and other reasons.

1. Improve living habits

Keep the vulva clean and dry, and avoid using lotions containing irritating ingredients to clean the vulva. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment to avoid cross-infection. Strengthen nutritional intake and eat more foods rich in high-quality protein and vitamins, such as eggs, milk, apples, etc., which will help improve the body's immunity. Pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and maintain a good mental state.

2. Physical therapy

Suitable for patients with chronic cervicitis, physical therapy methods such as laser, freezing, and microwave can be used. These methods can promote local blood circulation in the cervix, eliminate inflammatory tissue, and promote the proliferation of new epithelial cells to cover the wound. Routine leucorrhea examination is required before physical therapy to rule out acute infection. There will be a small amount of vaginal discharge after treatment, and the perineum needs to be kept clean and dry.

3. Treatment with proprietary Chinese medicines

For patients with chronic cervicitis, they can follow the doctor’s advice and use Chinese patent medicines such as Baofukang Suppository, Fuke Qianjin Tablets, and Jingangteng Capsules. Baofukang Suppository has the effects of promoting qi, breaking blood stasis, promoting muscle growth and relieving pain, and is suitable for leucorrhea caused by damp-heat stasis. Fuke Qianjin Tablets can clear away heat and remove dampness, replenish qi and remove blood stasis, and can improve symptoms such as excessive leucorrhea and thick yellow color. Jingangteng capsule has the functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, reducing dampness and reducing swelling.

4. Western medicine treatment

Patients with acute cervicitis need to choose antibiotics sensitive to the pathogen. For bacterial infections, drugs such as doxycycline hydrochloride tablets, azithromycin dispersible tablets, and levofloxacin tablets can be used as directed by the doctor. For mycoplasma infection, macrolide drugs such as roxithromycin capsules and clarithromycin tablets can be used. For Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, ceftriaxone sodium injection can be used as directed by your doctor. Adverse drug reactions need to be closely observed during medication.

5. Surgical treatment

For cervical polyps, cervical hypertrophy and other lesions, surgical treatments such as cervical polyp removal and cervical conization can be used. For patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, cervical loop resection may be required. The choice of surgical method depends on factors such as the extent of the disease, age of the patient, and fertility requirements. Regular follow-up examinations are required after surgery, and wound healing needs to be closely monitored.

Patients with cervicitis should avoid vaginal douching in daily life to prevent damage to the normal vaginal flora. It is recommended to wear cotton underwear and wash it frequently to keep the vulva breathable. Eat a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Carry out appropriate physical exercise to enhance your physical fitness. During the treatment period, regular reexaminations should be carried out as directed by the doctor to evaluate the treatment effect. If symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding or persistent lower abdominal pain occur, you should seek medical treatment in time. Patients with chronic cervicitis should undergo annual cervical cancer screening, including cervical cytology and HPV testing.
