Is cervical inflammatory disease serious?

1. Increased vaginal discharge is sometimes the only symptom of chronic cervicitis. It is usually thick mucus or purulent mucus. Sometimes the secretions may contain blood or a small amount of blood, and there may also be contact bleeding. Vulvar itching may be caused by irritation from leucorrhea.

2. Pain: Pain often occurs in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral area. Sometimes the pain may occur in the upper abdomen, thighs and hip joints. It worsens during menstruation, bowel movements or sexual intercourse. Especially when the inflammation extends backward along the uterosacral ligament or spreads along the bottom of the broad ligament of the uterus, forming chronic parauterine connective tissue inflammation, the pain is even worse when the cardinal ligament of the cervix thickens. Whenever the cervix is touched, it immediately causes pain in the iliac fossa and lumbosacral region. Some patients may even experience nausea, affecting their sexual life.

3. Bladder and intestinal symptoms Chronic cervicitis can spread through the lymphatic channels or directly spread to the bladder triangle or the connective tissue around the bladder. As a result, as soon as there is urine in the bladder, there is an urge to defecate, and symptoms of frequent urination or difficulty urinating appear, but the urine is clear and the routine urine test is normal. In some cases, the inflammation continues to spread or pass through the lymphatic pathways connecting the cervix, bladder trigone, and ureters, causing secondary urinary tract infection. Intestinal symptoms are less common than bladder symptoms, and some patients experience pain during bowel movements. 4. Other symptoms such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, pelvic heaviness, etc.
