How to better care for chronic cervicitis with squamous metaplasia?

When the female cervix is ​​infected by bacteria, it will develop many cervical diseases, the most common of which is chronic cervicitis. This disease is a chronic disease with fewer early symptoms and it is not easy to find symptoms. Patients can do a cervical examination to confirm the disease. When the patient's condition is serious, squamous metaplasia will occur, which will affect the health of the cervix. So how to better care for chronic cervicitis with squamous metaplasia? Let's take a look below.

Squamous metaplasia is common in columnar epithelium (such as glandular epithelium of tracheal and bronchial mucosa). Metaplasia of transitional epithelium is called squamous metaplasia. When the tracheal and bronchial epithelium is repeatedly damaged by chemical irritants or chronic inflammation and repeatedly regenerates, squamous metaplasia may occur. This is an adaptive response that is usually still reversible, but if it persists, it may become the basis of common bronchial squamous cell carcinoma. In addition, squamous metaplasia can be seen in other organs. For example, the squamous metaplasia of the gallbladder squamous epithelium in chronic cholecystitis and the squamous metaplasia of the cervical mucosa in chronic cervicitis can become the basis of squamous cell carcinoma.

When chronic cervicitis is accompanied by squamous metaplasia, it means that the condition has worsened and the patient must take effective treatment to control the condition. If not treated in time, it will cause cancer. Therefore, patients must take good care of the disease. Chronic cervicitis is a chronic gynecological inflammation, which is divided into fungal and bacterial. Patients must be patient during treatment and should take medication under the guidance of a doctor and strictly follow the doctor's orders. Do not take medication without authorization. The main care is as follows:

1. Get enough rest and eat more fruits, vegetables and light food. At the same time, pay attention to menstrual hygiene and vulva cleanliness to prevent inflammation. Also pay attention to hygiene during the postpartum period to avoid infection.

2. Two or three days after the treatment of chronic cervicitis, there will be a lot of bloody or yellow watery secretions discharged from the vagina. Therefore, you can use pure cotton sanitary pads during the day and change them frequently. You can also wash the vulva with warm water, once in the morning and once in the evening.

3. It is best to wear cotton underwear and change it frequently to keep the vulva clean.

4. Refrain from sexual intercourse for 1-2 months, because after the treatment of the cervix, there will be a layer of inflamed scab on the surface that will fall off, and new tissue will slowly grow out. During the tissue repair process, if you have sexual intercourse, the new wound on the cervix will be worn away or even bleed, affecting the efficacy.

5. For chronic cervicitis, especially cervical erosion, a cervical scraping should be done before treatment to rule out early cervical cancer. If the disease is not cured after a long period of treatment, surgical treatment may be required.

Patients with chronic cervicitis accompanied by squamous metaplasia should pay attention to prevent the disease from developing into cancer. Patients should actively treat the disease and provide effective care during the treatment. Patients can refer to the care points introduced in the article. If any abnormal symptoms are found, they must go to the hospital for formal examinations. The disease can be discovered through examination and effective treatment can be taken.
