Side effects of physical therapy for cervicitis

Cervicitis has now become one of the most common gynecological diseases among female friends. Therefore, you need to choose an appropriate treatment method according to your condition. The most common one is physical therapy. Although this treatment method is more effective, it will definitely cause side effects after using it for a period of time. However, the side effects are usually not so obvious. Most of the time, you will just feel some changes in your skin.

1. Neurological diseases

Limb dysfunction caused by cerebrovascular disease, brain degenerative disease, brain trauma, spinal cord disease, spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve disease or injury, etc.

1. Acute cervicitis

The main treatment is antibiotics.

(1) Empirical antibiotic treatment For patients with the following high-risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases (such as age under 25 years, multiple or new sexual partners, and unprotected sexual intercourse), empirical antibiotic treatment against Chlamydia is used before the results of pathogen testing are obtained.

(2) Antibiotic treatment targeting pathogens For those who have acquired pathogens, antibiotics targeting pathogens are selected. Since Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection is often accompanied by chlamydial infection, if it is gonococcal cervicitis, in addition to using anti-Neisseria gonorrhoeae drugs, anti-chlamydial infection drugs should also be used during treatment.

(3) Treatment of sexual partners: If the pathogens of cervicitis patients are Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, their sexual partners should be examined and treated accordingly.

Different lesions are treated with different treatments. For patients who present with erosive changes, if it is asymptomatic physiological columnar epithelial ectopia, no treatment is required. For erosive changes accompanied by increased secretions, papillary hyperplasia or contact bleeding, local physical therapy can be given, including laser, freezing, microwave and other methods. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can also be given or used as an auxiliary treatment before or after physical therapy. However, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer must be excluded by screening before treatment.

2. Chronic cervicitis

(1) Chronic endocervical mucositis For persistent endocervical mucosal inflammation, it is necessary to understand whether there is reinfection with Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, whether the sexual partner has been treated, and whether vaginal microbiome imbalance persists. Treatment is directed at the cause. For those whose pathogens are unclear and there is no effective treatment, physical therapy can be tried.

(2) Cervical polyps are treated with polypectomy, and the removed polyps are sent for pathological histological examination.

(3) Cervical hypertrophy generally does not require treatment.
