There are two types of cervical inflammation, acute cervicitis and chronic cervicitis, and the symptoms are more similar, with acute cervicitis symptoms being more obvious. The main symptoms of acute cervicitis are increased vaginal discharge, mucopurulent, itchy vulva, lumbosacral discomfort and lower abdominal cramps due to vaginal discharge stimulation, and urinary tract symptoms such as frequent, urgent and painful urination in case of N. gonorrhoeae infection. Gynecological examination reveals cervical congestion, edema, erosion, and mucopurulent discharge from the cervical canal. The main symptom of chronic cervicitis is also increased vaginal discharge, which can be milky white mucus-like or yellowish-purulent due to different pathogens, with bloody leucorrhea or bleeding after intercourse when there is polyp formation. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity, lumbosacral pain and pelvic drop can occur. Gynecological examination may reveal cervical erosion, hypertrophy, sometimes hard texture, sometimes polyps, laceration, ectropion and cervical glandular cysts. It is not difficult to make a diagnosis of cervicitis based on the above clinical manifestations and examinations, but attention should be paid to the differentiation between chronic inflammation and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and early cervical cancer, which can be easily confused by their appearance, and cervical cytology and cervical HPV-DNA examination should be routinely performed.
