The cause of acute cervicitis

Acute cervicitis in the past rare, mainly seen in infectious abortion, puerperal infection, cervical injury and vaginal foreign body complicated by infection, pathogens as staphylococcus, streptococcus, enterococcus bacteria such as generalized purulent. In recent years, with an increase in sexually transmitted diseases, acute cervicitis has become a common diseases.

Currently the most common acute clinical cervicitis mucopurulent cervicitis for , is characterized in the cervical canal or cervical swab specimens to see the naked eye or mucopurulent purulent secretions, use cotton swabs Wipe cervical canal, the easily induced cervical bleeding. Mucopurulent cervicitis mainly pathogens Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis. However, some pathogens MPC unclear. Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae were infected with cervical columnar epithelium, along the mucosal surface caused by the proliferation of superficial infection to cervical lesions significantly. In addition to cervical columnar epithelium, the invasion of Neisseria gonorrhoeae is also often the urethra transitional epithelium, paraurethral and vestibular gland. Staphylococcus, streptococcus more involving the cervical lymphatic vessels, or intrusion into the deep cervical stroma. http://www.tcmwell.com

Acute and chronic cervicitis compared with the incidence of acute cervicitis should be much lower. Acute cervicitis can be due to pyogenic bacterial infection of the cervix directly derived from, but also with impatient endometritis or acute vaginitis simultaneously. Often the cause of cervicitis caused by impatient as follows:

(1) mechanical stimulation or injury: childbirth or abortion, cervical laceration caused by secondary infections are common causes of cervicitis impatient; sex too frequently can increase the chance of cervical infection.

(2) to stimulate the physical and chemical factors: the use of high concentrations of acidic or alkaline solution, washing the vagina, or vaginal insertion corrosive drugs, can damage the vagina, cervix, may cause cervicitis, vaginitis.

(3) vaginal foreign body: When the gauze, cotton balls, or other foreign objects placed in the vagina for too long is likely to cause infection when the impatient cervicitis.

(4), vaginal inflammation: acute trichomonas vaginitis or fungal vaginitis, bacterial vaginosis, also can simultaneously cause acute inflammation of the cervix; Gonococci infections often occur in acute gonococcal cervicitis. copyright http://www.tcmwell.com
