CERVICITE

CERVICITE - inflammation of the cervix. It develops as a result of penetration into the canal of the cervix of the chlamydia, staphylococcus, streptococcus, Escherichia coli, enterococci, as well as gonococci, trichomonads, viruses, etc. The development of cervicitis is facilitated by unintended after birth gaps in the cervix and perineum, genitalia, cervical inflammation, inflammation Processes in the vagina, the uterus and its appendages, the weakening of the body in somatic diseases.

The clinical picture depends on the stage of the disease. In acute cervicitis, weak pains in the lower abdomen, unpleasant sensations in the vagina, sometimes itching, purulent or mucopurulent discharge from the genital tract can disturb. When examined with the help of vaginal mirrors, they reveal hyperemia, swelling of the mucous membrane of the vaginal part of the cervix. With subacute cervicitis, these signs are less pronounced. Chronic cervicitis is usually characterized by poor mucous membranes or mucopurulent discharge from the cervical canal, minor hyperemia and edema of its tissues. With a prolonged course of chronic cervicitis, the cervix thickens, often erosion of the cervix.

The diagnosis is established on the basis of examination of the cervix with the help of vaginal mirrors and colposcope, bacteriological examination of the cervix of the cervix.

Treatment depends on the nature of the pathogenic flora found in smears and crops. In acute and subacute nonspecific cervicitis prescribed vaginal douches infusion of chamomile, lactic acid solution. Bacterial cervicitis shows sulfonamides or antibiotics, chlamydial cervicitis is effective in doxycycline , taride, tetracycline . To treat cervicitis caused by anaerobic microflora, appoint metronidazole (inside or locally in the form of vaginal suppositories), with viral cervicitis - antiviral drugs.

Prevention includes proper management of births, timely restoration of the integrity of the cervix with its ruptures, prevention of abortions, proper selection and use of contraceptives, adherence to general hygiene rules.
