What does a red and swollen cervix mean?

The uterus is an important part of the female body and plays a decisive role in female fertility. Therefore, in daily life, women should protect their uterus well. Nowadays, many external factors can cause women to suffer from some diseases, especially for delicate parts such as the uterus, which requires more attention. Many times, a woman's cervix will become red and swollen. In fact, when the cervix becomes red and swollen, it cannot be considered a gynecological disease.

1. Strictly speaking, cervical redness and swelling is not the name of a disease. It can only be regarded as a symptom of gynecological diseases. For example, patients with vaginitis, cervicitis, and cervical erosion may have cervical redness and swelling. Symptoms of an irritated cervix include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pain, unusual vaginal discharge, and vaginal pain. Mild redness and swelling do not require special treatment, because when the primary disease is treated, the specific symptom is also treated.

2. If the redness and swelling are severe, red light irradiation may be used as a treatment, which will take about a week. It is recommended to reduce sexual life or even prohibit sexual life during the treatment period, because the redness and swelling of the cervix indicates that the cervix itself is in a state of congestion. At this time, the skin around the cervix is ​​relatively weak. Sexual life between couples may cause harm to women, causing pain to women, and then make women afraid of sexual life. Female friends with this kind of situation should pay attention to vaginal hygiene and avoid spicy food. At the same time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine gynecological review, and then proceed to the next step of treatment based on the review results!

Causes of cervical swelling

First: A normal cervix is ​​light red. If it is red and swollen, it may be infected. Generally, cervical erosion will cause redness and swelling in the early stage, and superficial erosion in the late stage. Generally, sexual intercourse during menstruation can promote cervical infection. Generally, if it is mild, it can be not treated first.

Second: Patients with cervical erosion can take anti-inflammatory drugs. Commonly used drugs include anti-cervicitis tablets, metronidazole, gynecological Qianjin capsules, etc. Taking medicine alone is not enough, and vaginal suppositories are also needed. You can use anti-erosion suppositories and Sophora flavescens gel, one pill every night for 7 consecutive days, and the symptoms will be relieved a lot.

Third: For patients with mild and moderate cervical erosion, medication is still somewhat effective, but severe cervical erosion refers to the erosion area exceeding two-thirds of the total cervical area, and the effect of medication is not good. If you want to cure it completely, you can use laser or minimally invasive surgery, which is a minor outpatient surgery and can be completed in half an hour.
