Chronic cervicitis is mostly benign and not necessarily cancerous; therefore, there is no exact time for cancer to occur. Chronic cervicitis is a local accumulation of inflammatory cells in the cervix, which often results in increased leucorrhea, yellowish leucorrhea and odor, mostly seen in menstruating women. If abnormalities are detected and examined and treated timely, it can be cured in a short time. Clinical studies have found that the occurrence of cervical cancer is closely related to HPV infection, and a small number of high-risk HPV infections may become cancerous after several years or more than a decade if they persist. Healthy women without symptoms can also be infected with HPV. Regular gynecological checkups are recommended to help early detection and treatment. Cervical cancer usually takes a long time to develop, but most of them can be cured if detected early. Usually, we should pay attention to hygiene and nutrition and insist on regular checkups, which can effectively prevent cervical cancer from occurring.
