It develops due to the fact that sex hormones are affected by a virus, bacteria, fungus. The infection is most often evolving in the case of the omission of the cervix, the vagina, as well as with the excessive use of hormonal, contraceptive preparations. Sometimes Cervicitis is the consequence of non-compliance with hygiene, inflammation in the organs of a small pelvis. How to treat the disease? How dangerous is it? What treatment method to give preference?
It is important to understand the cervix - this is a barrier that does not give an infectious disease to hit the uterus, the top department of the sexual path. Some factors disturb the protective function, so alien microflora falls, inflammation is developing - cervicitis. It can be two types:
As a rule, cervicitis develops subsequently infection, which is caused by the pathogenic microflora:
The pathogenic microflora turns out in the neck of the uterus from the rectum, and can also get through lymph, blood. Sometimes sexually transmitted. Cervicitis may later develop:
Rarely Cervicitis is an independent ailment, most often accompanies: bartolinite, vulvit, ecredopion (at which the cervix turns out), pseudo-erosion. Cervicitis, as a rule, develops in women of reproductive age, rarely during Klimaks. It is because of Cervicita that a woman cannot endure a child, everything ends with premature births. If the cervicitis is not in a timely manner, everything ends with the erosy of the cervix, polyps, inflammatory process in the upper part of the penis.
Depending on how the disease occurs, chronic, acute form of cervicitis. Separately diagnose diffuse, focal cervicitis. Sometimes the disease has an erased form. In the case of an acute form, many mucous membranes, purulent discharge, rarely stupid, unbearable pain in the lower abdomen are observed.
Under Cervicitis, the outer opening of the cervical canal swells, the mucous membol is added, noticeably low hemorrhage, ulceration. The cervicitis of each manifests itself in different ways, it all depends on the causative agent of the disease, the immune system.
Honory Cervicitis proceeds in acute form, has pronounced signs. But chlamydial infection is not as noticeable. We draw your attention, in the herpetic form of the uterus becomes loose, red, you can see ulcers.
Trichomonade cervicitis is no less dangerous, hemorrhage seems, and atypical cells are observed in the smear. The papilloma virus leads to the appearance of an ulcer on the neck of the uterus, the formation of Condyl. If it is not possible to diagnose cervicitis, it goes into a chronic form. In this case, the selection of muddy-mucous, you can see the set in the uterus. The chronic stage is manifested in the form of hyperemia, edema, inflammatory process, after some time the flat epithelium replaces cylindrical. The inflammatory process applies to glands, fabrics, cysts, infiltrates are also formed, the cervical neck is compacted.
This form of the disease is diagnosed in the case of a chronic inflammatory process, which is localized in the cervix. It is worth noting, the cervix shade is divided into the cervical channel and the vaginal part. A lot of reasons that can lead to a chronic process. Gynecologists pay attention to such provoking factors:
Attention! The main reasons for the chronic form of cervicitis include: atrophic, trichomonade, candidomic colpit.
It is believed when the sharp form goes into chronic, everything can end the erosion of the cervix. In addition, complicated cervicitis leads to endometritis, adnexitis, to inflammation of small pelvis organs. Bartholinium glands may be inflated due to cervicitis.
When the disease is caused by chlamydia, spikes are formed in a small pelvis, they lead to infertility. In the case when a woman is infected with papilloma virus leads to cervical cancer.
The doctor sees the disease during a mirror inspection. In addition, the gynecologist draws how much the symptoms of Cervicitis are expressed. Such signs are taken into account:
If the doctor suspects the chronic form of cervicitis, it prescribes such research methods:
Symptoms of the disease depends on what type is diagnosed - extocerevicitis or endocervicitis.
If the pathology is diagnosed, the mucous membrane is affected. In this case, signs are specific, they are independently difficult to recognize. First of all, there are allocations from the sexual path that muddy, they have an unpleasant smell. Then there is an unbearable dull pain at the bottom of the abdomen, in the groin zone. A woman hurts to go to the toilet, urination is accompanied by a thorough, itching. During sex, discomfort feels.
Attention! Endocervicitis must be treated, otherwise the mucous membrane can be hypertrophy, erosion will begin to develop, pathogenic microorganisms will be in the upper urinary department.
We note a woman rarely appeals to the doctor in a timely manner, therefore other more dangerous diseases begin to join:, endometrite, colpit.
A chronic form is particularly dangerous, which is slowly developing, but the fabric of the uterine cavity is destroyed.
It all depends on the factors that caused diseases. In the treatment, first of all, it is necessary to get rid of the cause of the disease, then heal adjacent ailments, which aggravate chronic cervicitis.
In case of destruction of cells, tissues need stabilizing therapy. So you can avoid a serious complication. We draw your attention, some women prefer folk treatment methods, but they rarely affect the organs that are more beneficial. The course of therapy is best to discuss with the attending physician, otherwise the disease will be aggravated.
It is easiest to know about endocervicitis, it has a specific manifestation. At mature, young women immediately appear symptoms of the disease. The main timely course of therapy to prevent serious consequences to prevent serious consequences. Only so can be defended from the recurrence of the disease. As a rule, treatment depends on the cause that provoked the development of cervicitis, also degree of lesion, infection.
In the event that you began to bother some symptoms, you need to consult with a gynecologist to clarify the diagnosis. We draw your attention to such dangerous signs of endocervicitis:
During the inspection, the gynecologist sees the cervical mucosa, ulcers, sometimes seals, cysts. In this case, the cervix swells strongly, is loose, hyperemic. In addition, pronounced symptoms of pseudo-erosion. In this case, there are no symptoms, but the endocervicitis begins to progress, becomes chronic over time. But this form is very seriously diagnosed, its symptoms are not quite pronounced.
This form of the disease develops after a woman transfers endometritis, colpit. The reason can be mycoplasmosis, trichomoniasis, candidiasis, gonorrhea. In addition, staphylococci, streptococci can become causative agents. Most often atrophic form of cervicitis develops if the mucosa of the uterus is damaged. The abortion is a fairly frequent cause of injury, the tip of the neck during childbirth.
In the case of a decrease in immunity, the disease is further aggravated. As a rule, risks the female reproductive age, which previously led messy sex life. Female health affects frequent use of spermicides, hormonal failure, and menopauscterical period.
When menopause comes, the level of estrogen begins to decline dramatically, which is why atrophic cervicitis is actively developing. Due to the illness, the mucous membrane is thinned, it is sensitive to different external factors, leads to a change in the structure of the tissue, microorganisms are subsequently multiplied.
In this case, only hormonal drug therapy (synthetic estrogens) saves, with the help of which the condition of the mucosa in the cervix can be caused to normal, in the vagina.
The preventive measures can be attributed - gynecological advice (to contact the doctor is needed at least 2 times a year). It is very important that the childbirth controlled a good doctor, because there is a danger of damage to the integrity of the mucous membrane of the cervix. Also necessary to avoid abortions, remember reliable contraceptive methods, adhere to personal hygiene.
Very often, their patients have gynecologists diagnose the bacterial form of the disease. She affects the cervical channel itself, as well as some parts of the vagina. What are the reasons for?
The bacterial form is most often provoked by herpes virus, syphilis, papillomavirus, actinomycete. Rarely disease develops subsequently urinary tuberculosis.
The main symptoms of the disease include: stupid, pulling pain in the lower abdomen, dizuriy, pain during sex. Often the patient complains about the selection, they all differ in consistency may contain mucus, pus.
In order not to make a mistake with the diagnosis, the doctor using the colposcope, examines the cervix. The main physical symptoms refers:
To determine the pathogen, PCR is used diagnostics. How is it held? Takes smear from the cervix. Thus, it is easy to recognize gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, herpes, chlamydia.
The pathogen turns out to be in the body after sexual intercourse (sometimes even after an oral act), if the partner is sick. Symptoms make themselves known only 20 days after infection.
This type of disease is dangerous in that it practically does not make itself felt, so the patient is not in a hurry to the doctor. Rarely appear mucous membranes with pus enclosure.
Due to the fact that pathology proceeds without symptoms, it strikes all the genitals, so it becomes quite difficult to treat it. The diagnosis of chlamydial cervicitis is impossible to independently make it possible to make it only a gynecologist. When he examines the patient, he carefully examines the cells of the cervical canal, takes the smear, then a bacteriological study is carried out.
Ostly shape can be heal only with sulfanimamides, antibiotics. If pathology developed due to infection, which was transferred by sexually, individual therapy is selected.
At home, you can paint with a solution of furatociline, use different antiseptics, vegetable chamomile (from chamomile, sage).
Drug treatment must be prescribed to two partners immediately so that it does not happen. It is important to remember that the disease can leak without symptoms. Therefore, try to pass all the necessary analyzes, consult a gynecologist, infectious examiner if you suspect infection. Preventive measures make it possible to learn in a timely manner about the disease at the beginning of development.
During the carriage of the baby, the cervicitis can seriously harm the woman, a child. The disease leads to such dangerous complications:
It is especially dangerous when Cervicitis becomes the cause of purulent-septic skin damage, child organs.
In the first period of fetal tooling, everything can end with infectious embrypathia. It manifests itself in the form of placental insufficiency, different violations in the development of the fetus. Because of Cervicitis, the fruit freezes or everything ends with miscarriage. In the late period of pregnancy, the fruit is delayed in development, a dangerous infection can be transmitted.
We draw your attention, the disease can be local or generalized. At the later period, local cervicitis is still developing, because individual holes are narrowed, channels, everything ends with an abnormal development, violation of organs ,. But the generalized form is more characteristic for the first trimester.
In this case, antiviral agents are used, antibiotics. Especially effective is Sumamed, it can be applied in the form of tablets. Local drugs are also prescribed.
The inflammatory process developed because of chlamydia? Tetracycline, macrolides, quinolines, azalids are prescribed pregnant women.
Candidiasis is recommended to take diphuan, antifungal drugs. When the acute inflammatory process subsides, can assign local means. For the processing of the vagina, dimexide (3% solution) or chlorophyllipte (2% solution) is used.
Especially difficult is treated with viral cervicitis. In this situation, the patient for a long time needed to take vitamin, antiviral drugs.
The main therapy in infectious cervicitis
If the disease is caused by chlamydia, syphilis, it is mandatory to take antibiotics:
Important! In the event that the cervicitis is provoked by the herpes virus, it is necessary to take antiviral drugs.
The doctor discharges an antiviral drug - acyclovir, it needs to be taken about 5 days. Then additionally take the valacyclovir, the Famciclovir. In difficult and launched cases, it is necessary to constantly increase the dose. It is important to remember, genital herpes is a chronic disease that lasts throughout life. It will have to be constantly treated.
The sexual partner must necessarily go through the course of therapy. In infectious Cervicitis, a partner is also checked. Sometimes a man can become a carrier of infection that does not appear at all. Therefore, it is so important to consult with your doctor.
After the doctor prescribes treatment, it is necessary to make all the drugs. During feeding, breasts, as well as in pregnancy, you need to be extremely careful. Immediately inform the doctor about such symptoms as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea.
If the cervicitis is not sent in a timely manner, the disease will delay. Only an effective course of therapy will help for a long time to forget about the ailment. Of course, in the future you will have to constantly observe the doctor.
First of all, it is necessary to refrain from sexual life. If you have an infectious form of cervicitis, it is important to do everything so that viruses and bacteria stop spreading. Even when the cervicitis is non-infectious, it is better to abandon sex, otherwise the cervix will be irritated, the symptoms of the disease will only be aggravated.
In addition, it is important to protect against all vaginal stimuli. You can not use the means that lead to the inflammatory process in the cervix, in the vagina. Try not to use different liquids, tampons for douching. It is prohibited at Cervicitis to use tampon during menstruation.
It is very important to abandon lotions, deodorant, fragrant soap, they also cause irritation. Buy only high-quality underwear made of natural fabric. Refuse the tight, close underwear of synthetics, your skin should breathe, always stay clean.
There are many recipes that can be used at home. Just need to be considered extremely careful. Often, cervicitis is caused by venereal infections, and they are treated with the help of drugs.
Folk methods can only be used in the form of additional treatment, be sure to combine with medicines. Folk healers at Cervicitis recommend infusions, decoction, ointment, douching.
Under Cervicitis, the effective method of treatment is dying. It must be comprehensive. It is best to combine tampons + scripting + reception of grass products. Especially useful is such a recipe: an equal number is taken + the root of Altea + Fennel + chamomile + gold mustache. Plants Mix, take just a tablespoon, pour boiling water. Drink on the hungry stomach of 100 ml.
You can use such a decoction: Rosehip fruits + chamomile + drying + plantain + yarrow. Preparation is preparing, like the previous one. You need to paint in the morning and in the evening, you can put tampons.
Chronic cervicitis can be heal with a decoction of oak bark. It is preparing simply: a plant (tablespoon) is brewed in a glass of boiling water, all copies on a small fire. The solution is used as a douching. The procedure is best to spend about 2 weeks.
Very well helps such a recipe: the leaves of mother-and-stepmother are taken + calendula + chamomile (on a tablespoon), all pour 300 ml of boiling water. Wait about an hour, the decoction must be broken. Drafting is performed in the morning, and at night it is best to put a tampon. Additionally, you can drink to drink in 100 ml.
Effectively use tampons that are recommended to soak in ointment of healing herbs. You can cook ointment at home: take drinking + sea buckthorn + chamomile + plantain + flax seeds + juniper + clover +. The plant needs to be crushed, then add creamy oil (50 grams), tapping everything and at the end. Add glycerin (50 ml). Make from Banda Tampon, soak it in ointment. To increase efficiency, put a tampon before bedtime.
You can make an ointment using such a recipe: Cleaner is taken + sage + flavion seeds + wormwood + dandelion + sage + lilac + Celli + St. John's wort + Cyprus + Birch leaves + Snake Highlander. Mazi preparation recipe is the same as the previous one.
To quickly heal the disease, you need to eat right. During treatment, you will have to abandon a diet, while advised to saturate the body with a large number of trace elements, vitamins.
To dangerous and very harmful products that may complicate cervicitis include:
Let's sum up! Cervicitis is a dangerous disease that is very important to reveal at an early stage. It is treated using different drugs. Additionally, you can paint, drink champs, infusions, other healing vegetable drinks. Remember, easier for all ways to protect against the disease. First of all, to periodically visit the gynecologist, in time to treat all infections, especially if they are chronic. Equally important is nutrition, lifestyle. Carefully watch your health!
The site provides reference information solely to familiarize yourself. Diagnosis and treatment of diseases must be under the supervision of a specialist. All drugs have contraindications. Consultation of a specialist is obligatory!
Cervicitis The inflammatory process is called lying on the mucous membrane.Signs of chronic form:
Signs of this form of the disease are practically no different from the signs of typical form: pains can be observed less often and not too sharp, it is not uncommon, and the character of which is determined by the causative agent.
Treatment:
The most effective method is replacement hormone therapy. It allows you to normalize the functions of the mucous membrane and stop the cell atrophy.
The best treatment is the local impact: candles, creams, vaginal tablets with female sex hormones will help to normalize blood circulation, microflora and improve muscular tone.
2. With viral etiology: Take 20 grams of mint, thyme, raspberry sheet, juniper cones, 10 grams of wormwood and adonis. 2 tablespoons of collecting 400 ml of boiling water, withstand 60 minutes under the lid, skip through the sieve and consumed orally per day. It is possible to combine with the use of the eleuterococcus tincture of 40 drops twice a day ( not at night) For a month.
3. Take the same amount of wormwood, oak bark, cherry colors, twice as a strawberry sheet and three times more rose hips. All grind in a coffee grinder, 1 liter of boiling water is taken on 2 tablespoons of the mixture, withstand 8 hours in the thermos. Use 100 ml three times a day on an empty stomach. The duration of reception is 12 - 16 weeks.
The most common and dangerous is the upward way of infection when it penetrates the body through the vagina. This is precisely this ways can be infected by the accumulative water. If the fetal infection occurred in the early stages of development, there is a possibility of forming congenital defects, as well as placental insufficiency.
If the infection occurs later, the development of the fetus can slow down.
When fetal infection in the first three months of pregnancy, the infection covers the entire body of the future child.
During pregnancy, cervicitis often flows in a hidden form, which complicates its detection.
As the main drug in the treatment of an atypical shape of inflammation in pregnant women, the preparation of Summen is used ( azithromycin) In the form of tablets and local drugs.
The cervicitis of the uterus is inflammation of the lower, vaginal end of the cervix. This is a common phenomenon that is caused by a number of factors of infectious, chemical, physical nature or allergies. Cervicitis is a very common disease.
Often the symptoms of this disease can be found in any period of adult life of a woman. Risk factor on a par with an intensive sexual life is a frequent change of partner. Many cases are not diagnosed, as women do not experience anxiety.
It is important to determine the cause of cervicit in time to prevent the spread of infection beyond the cervix - pelvic and abdominal cavity. This may be the cause of infertility in women or the pathology of the fetus during pregnancy, pain in a small pelvis. The infection can spread to the future child. Call cervical cancer and other complications.
The cervix - protruding in the vagina, the extended end of the uterus, which has a shape of a tube with thick walls. The central part (endocervix) is narrow, wetted with a wet shell, which contains mucous glands. The neck allocates a lot of mucous membranes and helps to transport cum.
A feature of the structure of the female genital organs is the relationship between the adolescent and the uterine pipes, the diseases often flow are combined and classified as the infections of the lower paths. Endometrial infections and phallopy pipes - ultimate sexual diseases.
The neck is an excellent, warm place for bacterial invasion and reproduction. Vaginal infections are easily applied to the cervix. Fluid stagnation (due to the removal limitation) causes chronic cervicitis. Damage to the neck may occur after injury during abortion, cavity, radiation therapy or intrauterine contraceptives. Cervicitis is most common in menstrual women. He rarely amazes young girls and is only occasionally found in older women.
Inflammation occurs in the following cases:
There are assumptions that frequent dysfretions contribute to the disease. There is evidence that cervicitis more often sains city inhabitants.
Heavy molds of inflammation are usually caused by infections in intimate proximity. Venusal diseases that cause cervicitis:
In many women, cervicitis gives negative analysis results for some types of infections. Other causes of the disease:
Some drugs can cause symptomatic cervicitis, such as a vaginal cream clandamicine. At the doctor's reception, it is necessary to report on the use of vaginal medication conventions.
Many women cervicitis proceeds asymptomatic. The disease can be detected after any next examination or inspection. The first symptom will be a change in the walls of the vagina immediately after menstruation.
Symptoms and symptoms, if there are, the following:
An irritated or infected tissue looks in red, edema, with purulent, mucous or fetid secretions. They are easy to bleed at the slightest touch. In the running stages there are abundant, almost flowable, silent herbs that are accompanied by intense vehicles or pains or pain. Excessive fluid exudation can inhibit fertilization.
The clinic of acute flow is characterized by strong edema and inflammation of the mucous membrane. The neck is increased, the canal is filled with blood and fabric exudate. The vagina is also hypered, the muscles are tense from pain caused by touch. The infection can be localized in one piece of the neck or spread to the entire area.
In the chronic flow of isolation thick, but not abundant, they do not irritate the mucous membrane. Pain, as a rule, no. Chronic infection extends to the surrounding fabrics. The most frequent reasons are:
Excessive proliferation (growth) mucosa causes cervical cancer, polyps that can spread and increase in size.
Although chronic cervicitis sometimes proceeds asymptomatic, manifestations consist of the following signs:
Yellowish liquid indicates chlamydial infection. With gynecological examination, discharge and exudate are discovered. Genital herpes looks like red rashes or as an open wound on the cervix.
Specific phenomena - purulent or mucous-purulent endocervical exudate, which is determined in the cervical channel during visual study or in endocervical strokes. Some experts are easily diagnosed with mucous-purulent cervicitis (GGS) based on pronounced cervical bleeding. Although the detection in the smears of a large number of polymorphous leukocytes has diagnostic value, however, many gynecologists do not consider this criterion sufficient to diagnose the GRC.
The mucous-purulent inflammation can be caused by the causative agent of gonorrhea or trichomonade. After intimate proximity, there are bleeding. Often proceeds with relapses, despite the course of antibacterial therapy.
There is a high probability of the development of the disease, if it was:
Studies show that cervicitis recurs from 8% to 25% of cases.
In case of suspected inflammation of the cervix, gynecologists produce a visual inspection on the gynecological chair. This allows you to see the condition of the genital paths directly. The doctor also collects a tampon from cervical. With visual inspection, it is also possible to estimate the degree of bleeding.
The doctor needs to know anamnesis of sexual life. To do this, find out:
Gynecologist in such cases, takes the smear tampon for the presence of bacteria and viruses, and conducts an inspection for the detection of swelling, soreness, bleeding.
Masks are subject to microscopy in order to identify microorganisms. Analyzes were developed using dyes to detect bacterial and viral proteins (chlamydia and herpes), as well as gram staining to detect gonorrhea. Chlamydoz and gonorrhea are very similar, they often accompany each other. Therefore, it is often carried out simultaneous examination for these two infections.
The most accurate laboratory study consists of cultural analysis (sowing results are visible in three days).
If the source served as an infection, then the main purpose of treatment is the sanitation of the affected area in order to prevent its transition to the uterus, phallopyes pipes, and during pregnancy - the child.
From what microorganism caused inflammation, the doctor appoints:
Bacterial infections are shown by antibiotics. Herpetic infections are treated with acyclovir.
Treatment of the cervix is \u200b\u200bcarried out with azithromycin or doxocycline. Honory Cervicitis is treated ceftriaxone, and in the case of trichomoniasis, metronidazole is used.
To treat pregnant women, as an alternative, erythroxycin is used. Treatment of HIV-infected people is carried out by the same scheme, like uninfected.
Treatment is especially necessary if the HIV woman is positive to prevent the elevated selection of neck virus along with exudate. This contributes to the dissemination of infection and partner infection. In addition, the presence of cervicitis increases the risk to get sick from HIV-infected partner.
If symptoms do not disappear, you need to pass a re-examination. People's methods or douching, in the case of cervicitis, do not work, and even severe symptoms. It is not recommended to use them.
If the disease is not amenable to antibiotic therapy, then the inflamed area of \u200b\u200bthe cervix affects electrocoagulation, cryotherapy (freezing) or the treatment with a laser. All these measures are directed to the destruction of the affected tissues.
These treatments are rarely treated, as antibiotics are considered very effective. Invasive methods can cause complications: Stenosis of the cervix (channel narrowing), cervical failure (cervical weakness, which is dangerous by miscarriages).
If the attack of the cervicitis was delayed or the disease often recurrences, the doctor prescribes the procedure for excision of anomalous cells by moxibustion, cryodestructuring or Lazarrapy.
Gonorrhea, chlamydoz, trichomoniasis is cured with antibiotics, while antiviral therapy allows you to remove the aggravation of the cervicitis caused by the Herpes virus (HSV), to stop the severity of the state and reduce the flow stages.
With appropriate treatment, you can expect complete recovery. If proper treatment is not carried out, it leads to various complications, Cervicitis can also go into a chronic form.
Complications from non-treated infectious cervicitis depend on the causative agent. Not treated gonorrhea or chlamydosis lead to endometritis and salpingitis, which are later the cause of infertility, chronic pelvic processes and ectopic pregnancy.
Other complications:
Some forms cause cervical cancer. Not treated active HSV infections in the perinatal and neonatal period lead to mental retardation, blindness, meningitis and fetal death.
The following steps will help reduce the risk of developing cervicitis:
Patients should understand that the most effective way to prevent genital infections is avoiding sexual contact with infected partners. Ideally, both partners should be tested for venereal diseases and human immunodeficiency virus before the start of sexual relations. If there are no such tests, it is necessary to use a condom.
With inflammatory diseases of the genital organs faces most women. The features of the structure of the female sexual system are such that the infection quickly spreads from the vagina to the internal genital organs. Cervicitis goes into inflammation of endometrial and ovarian. Often, consequences are complications of pregnancy or even infertility. Chronic inflammation causes a precancerous disease. It is important to strengthen the immune system, it is reasonable to use contraception, regularly examine the doctor to protect against such hazards.
The epithelium of the cervical canal (endocervix) connecting the uterine cavity with the vagina, in structure differs from the epithelium, lining the part of the neck, which is directly in the vagina (extoerces). Depending on what kind of cervical neck, inflammation occurs, differ, respectively, endocervicitis and extocerevicitis.
The age of women who detect cervicitis of the cervicals, in 70% of cases is 20-40 years, and only 30% of women are those who have come menopause.
The disease must be treated, since when switching it to a chronic shape, thickening of the walls of the uterus, the narrowing of the enlightenment of the cervical canal. This may cause infertility. The spread of inflammation in the pipes and the ovaries also leads to the impossibility of conception, the emergence of ectopic pregnancy, hormonal disorders.
Cervicitis is associated with the destruction of the mucous membrane, protecting the uterus from the penetration of infection from the vagina. The probability of the disease and transition of the inflammatory process in chronic form increases due to the inevitable decline in immunity during this period (this prevents the rejection of the fetus).
In the presence of Cervicitis, pregnant women increasing the risk of such complications as miscarriage, premature birth. It is possible to infect the fetus, which leads to incorrect development, the emergence of deformities, intrauterine death, the death of a newborn in the first months of life.
A major threat to Cervicitis presents in the early period of pregnancy, when the fetus form organs and systems. Most often, a woman has miscarriage. If acute cervicitis occurs in the middle or end of pregnancy, the child may have hydrocephalus, kidney disease and other organs. Therefore, planning pregnancy, a woman must recover from Cervicita in advance, strengthen the immune system. Treatment is carried out necessarily, since the risk of complications is very large.
The inflammatory process in the cervix may have an infectious nature or arising for reasons that are not associated with penetration of microbes and viruses.
The cervix separates the sterile cavity of the uterus from the vagina, the microflora of which is normal to contain useful lactobacillia and conditionally pathogenic microorganisms. Useful lactic acid bacteria create a healthy environment that prevents the reproduction of causative agents of diseases. The causes of the cervicitis of infectious origin are:
Such reasons include:
Promotes the occurrence of inflammation of the cervix decrease in immunity, the presence of tumor diseases, an uncontrolled reception of antibiotics.
There are various types of cervicitis cervix.
Purulent cervicitis. Sources of inflammation are gonococci, ureaplasma, trachoms sticks. The infection is transmitted by sexually, affects the cervical canal mucosa (cylindrical epithelium). If there is a displacement of cylindrical cells in the area of \u200b\u200bthe flat epithelium (the ectopy of the cervical cervix appears), then the purulent process applies to offset areas. The process can also affect the stroma separating muscle mucosa. The infection falls into other small pelvis organs and becomes the cause of their inflammation.
Viral Cervicitis. Inflammation is caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) or the causative agent of genital herpes (specific infections). Papillomas or herpes may occur both inside the cervical channel and on the vaginal cervical surface. A characteristic feature is a strong itching in the field of cervical and pain at the bottom of the abdomen. Most often, such a kind of cervicitis occurs in women of childbearing age, living sexual life.
Bacterial cervicitis. The process of inflammation applies to all sections of the mucous membrane of the cervix: both on the domestic and its vaginal segment. The cause is a bacterial vaginosis, that is, the development of conditionally pathogenic bacteria in the vagina due to a lack of useful lactic bacteria in the microflora. With such a disease, there is no danger of infection of the sexual partner. However, if there is also a sex infection in the vagina, the disease passes into a purulent form.
Atrophic cervicitis. This is called a variety of the disease, in which the thickness of the mucous membranes of the cervix (atrophy) occurs. The causes of the occurrence of such a process can be both specific (gonococcus, trichomonade, herpes virus and HPV) and non-specific infections (staphylococci, streptococci).
In addition, cervicitis of this type arises due to the traumatic damage to the mucosa during abortion or scraping.
Cystic cervicitis. There is inflammation of the glands located in cylindrical epithelium, an increase in its volume, the formation of a set of a cyst in the mucous membrane and damage to its surface. This type is the launched stage of the disease in which a combination of various types of infection is observed.
The disease often flows in acute uniform with brightly manifested symptoms. In the absence of treatment, inflammation becomes chronic, goes to glands and affects mucous membrane. At the same time, treatment is hampered by the fact that the external signs of the disease are smoothed, diagnose cervicitis is harder. It is often possible to detect it only in the late stage, when inflammation passes to the appendages of the uterus.
In some cases, even sharp cervicitis is difficult to notice, as it proceeds without pain or other obvious symptoms. However, in severe, acute inflammation can cause abundant purulent discharge with an unpleasant odor. There are drawing pains in the lower abdomen, in the lower back. Displays with blood impurities, especially after sexual intercourse, which also becomes painful. It feels itching in the genitals. It is possible to increase body temperature, nausea and dizziness. There is a frequent painful urination.
Signs of the disease in the acute stage are swelling and redness of the mucous membrane on the surface of the vaginal segment of the neck. During the examination, the mixing of the gear channel mucosa is discouraged into the outer area. It has small hemorrhages and ulcers.
When the disease in the chronic form of discharge becomes less abundant, since the production of mucus by the iron of the cervical canal is disturbed. Muddy allocations contain blood impurities. Woman feels a permanent pain in the lower back.
The degree of manifestation of the disease depends on the type of infection. When infected with manifestations, for example, stronger than in chlamydia. If the occurrence of cervicitis is associated with herpes virus, then on the mucous, there are separate ulcers, loose sections of bright red.
In the presence of chronic cervicitis, the edema mucosa decreases. It is possible to move the exterior epithelium of the neck to the cervical canal. The color of the mucous - bright pink. Cysts and bubbles containing lymph and blood are found. Inflammation applies to neighboring tissues.
Since the obvious symptoms of cervicitis of the cervical cervix may be absent, then a regular visit to the doctor with a prophylactic goal is of great importance for the identification and diagnosis of this disease.
The following methods are applied to the survey:
In the chronic stage of cervicitis in the smear, destroyed epithelium cells are found. Additionally, common blood tests and smear per leukocytes are carried out, as well as HIV analysis.
The treatment of cervicitis is to eliminate the causes of the disease, the fight against inflammation and strengthen the protective forces of the body.
Antibiotics, antiviral and antifungal drugs are used to destroy pathogenic microorganisms. When a female papillomas virus discovery in the body of a woman, special attention is paid, since the damage to the genital organs with an increased probability can lead to the formation of malignant tumors. First of all, immunomodulator preparations are prescribed (interferon, cycloferon, immunal).
Vaccines, tablets and ointments are used, allowing to clean the mucosa from papillom. However, there is a danger of recurrence, so the woman is recommended to regularly pass gynecological examinations.
It is often possible to get rid of papilloma only surgically. Such treatment is often used to eliminate chronic cervicitis of any nature. Methods such as laser destruction, cryotherapy, chemical cavity, electroconduction, radio wave coagulation are used.
Sometimes in the treatment of cervicitis requires simultaneous elimination of urological diseases.
Note: If the cause of inflammation of the mucosa is sexual infections, the sexual partner of a woman should be treated at the same time.
In order to speed up the restoration of the mucous membrane and improve the hormonal background, estrogen and progesterone preparations are used.
