Signs of cervicitis, ways to treat the disease

Cervicitis is called inflammation in the vaginal segment of the uterus. Symptoms of cervicitis are presented in the form of turbid mucous or purulent discharge, blunt or pulling pains in the lower abdomen, pain in the practice of sex and urination. Chronic forms of the disease can lead to further development of pathologies on the upper sections of the genital apparatus, to provoke the development of erosion and thickening of the cervix.

Symptoms of cervicitis

Disease with the flow is distinguished as chronic and acute cervicitis. By the degree of defeat, it is divided into diffuse and focal, but there are cases when the disease initially passes in an erased form.

Symptoms of cervicitis of acute form are characterized by abundant secretions, pain in the lower abdomen, edema and hyperemia of the external opening of the cervical canal. There may also be small hemorrhages and protrusion of the mucosa.

Symptoms of cervicitis also depend on the state of human immunity and the nature of the pathogen. The gonorrhea variant is characterized by acute flow and pronounced symptoms. Chlamydia infection has less obvious signs. But the herpetic cervicitis is marked with a loose, bright red uterus with areas of expression. Trichomonal cervicitis is manifested by a small hemorrhage and atypical cells in the smear.

Uncovered disease or not cured in the acute stage turns into a long chronic process. Symptoms of chronic cervicitis are characterized by turbid mucus secretions, the appearance of pseudo-erosions in the uterus, but the signs of inflammation are less pronounced, although they are able to transfer to the surrounding glands and tissues. Cysts and compaction of the cervix can form .

How to treat the disease

There are several modern methods of treatment, but in any case, first of all, predisposing factors (immune system, hormonal failures, metabolic disorders), as well as concomitant diseases, should be corrected.

Treatment of the disease includes the use of antibiotics, antiviral drugs, drugs suitable for the identified pathogen with its sensitivity and intolerance to this drug. For example, chlamydial cervicitis involves the administration of tetracycline antibiotics: "Macrolides", "Quinolones", "Azalids." When Candidiasis is applied "Diflucan". Very often, combined local preparations are used to treat this disease, usually "Terzhinan" in the form of creams or candles.

When the severity of the course of cervicitis subsides , treatment for how many days would not be delayed, you should not be lazy and regularly treat the vagina and cervix with a 3% solution of "Demixide", a solution of silver nitrate, 1-2% "Chlorophyllipt."

With difficulty, viral cervicitis is cured. Genital herpes involves long-term therapy with antiviral drugs (Valtrex, Acyclovir), the use of antiherpetic IG, vitamins, immunostimulants.

The chronic stage is difficult to treat, therefore surgical methods are used: cryotherapy, diathermocoagulation, laser therapy provided that there are no infections. In passing, concomitant diseases are treated: colpitis, ectropion, functional disorders, salpingoophoritis.

In any case, the disease is treated under the supervision of a doctor, laboratory tests and colposcopy (examination of the entrance to the vagina with the help of a colposcope - a binocular magnifying glass with illumination).
