Increased and thick vaginal discharge

The increase in vaginal discharge and its viscosity is most likely due to cervicitis, a disease caused by women. Cervicitis is also a very common gynecological disease in today's clinical medicine. After cervicitis occurs, women must seek timely treatment, because this will affect the health of their reproductive system and even their fertility. Below I will introduce you to some relevant knowledge about cervicitis!

1. What causes cervicitis?

1. Natural abortion

Although spontaneous abortion and childbirth do not necessarily require surgery, they still cause varying degrees of damage to the cervix and various tissues, which can easily lead to cervicitis. For women who have abortions or curettage, the incidence of cervicitis is higher. The mechanical stimulation or damage caused by such operations is obvious and it is easy to get infected, leading to cervicitis and other gynecological inflammations. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of cervicitis, female friends should pay attention to contraception, avoid or reduce artificial abortion surgery, pay attention to postpartum hygiene, and avoid postpartum infection; pathogen infection: the most common causes of cervicitis are purulent inflammation caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, viruses, Trichomonas, etc.; chemical stimulation: flushing the vagina with some acidic or alkaline solution, or putting suppositories into the vagina, can also cause cervicitis.

2. Unhealthy sexual life causes cervicitis

The main reason for this is that many male friends have too rough sex life, which results in damage to the various tissues of the female cervix and eventually causes cervicitis. Some friends have sex too frequently, and some even have sex multiple times in a short period of time. This is also an important cause of cervicitis. Based on this, everyone should pay attention to having a regular, restrained and harmonious sex life in the future and avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.

2. What are the dangers of cervicitis?

1. Cause infertility

If the polyps in the cervix are delayed in treatment or left untreated, they may gradually proliferate and expand, causing abnormal blockage of the cervix. Another possibility is that the cervical polyps block the cervical opening, causing the cervix to become narrow and deformed, which in turn leads to the inability to become pregnant normally and causes infertility.

2. Cause cancer

Most polyps are benign cells, and the chance of becoming cancerous is 4% to 8%. However, it is important to note that an irregular lifestyle will accelerate the occurrence of cancer and cause the cancer cells to grow rapidly. Especially for women over 25 years old with irregular lifestyle, the chance of malignancy is greater. Triggering other gynecological inflammations When suffering from cervical polyps, sexual intercourse will often lead to bleeding, bloody leucorrhea, vaginitis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and other gynecological inflammations.

3. How to treat cervicitis?

1. Physical therapy

Physical therapy for cervicitis is mainly based on local minimally invasive treatment. The principle of physical therapy is to destroy the epithelium of cervical lesions, causing it to necrotize and fall off, and then the new squamous epithelium will re-cover the diseased area, making the cervix smooth and achieving the purpose of treating cervicitis.

2. Drug treatment

Drug treatment refers to the use of traditional Chinese medicine or a mixture of traditional Chinese medicine and antibiotics to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation.

3. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

It is relatively common for friends suffering from inflammation to use conservative treatment of traditional Chinese medicine to help their body recover. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dampness and heat infect the lower part of the body, invade the belt meridian, causing the belt meridian to malfunction and leading to an increase in yellow discharge. You can take the traditional Chinese medicine Fuyan Pills for internal adjustment treatment. Routine disinfection of the vulva, vagina and cervix is ​​the main content of electrocoagulation therapy. Use a vaginal speculum to expose the female cervix, contact the electric iron head to the eroded surface, and iron evenly, with the range slightly exceeding the eroded surface. This is also one of the methods to treat cervicitis.

4. Laser therapy

A method for treating cervicitis with high temperature, mainly carbonizing eroded tissue to form scabs, and after the scabs fall off, the wound surface is covered with new squamous epithelium. Chronic cervicitis is generally treated with carbon dioxide laser, which is a common treatment method for cervicitis.
