Causes of whitening of the cervical os

The white color of the cervical opening may be due to local inflammatory infection of the cervix, or it may be due to local inflammation followed by physical therapy, resulting in local tissue necrosis and change in the color of the cervical opening. It is also necessary to be alert to the possibility of cervical cancer, which requires further TCT and HPV testing of the cervical opening to exclude cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. If the results of both tests are problematic, further colposcopy and cervical biopsy are needed to clarify the presence of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. If local inflammation is the cause, anti-infection treatment is needed and regular review is needed. Pay attention to keep the perineum clean, wash and replace it regularly, pay attention to sexual hygiene and avoid unclean sex. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods.
