Is atrophic changes of the cervix with mild inflammation serious?

Atrophic changes of the cervix with mild inflammation are generally not serious. It should be analyzed in the context of the patient’s history and clinical symptoms. Cervical atrophy is the shrinkage of the cervix from the previous size, and the thinning of the cervical mucosa or vaginal mucosa, which can be divided into physiologic and pathologic changes. Physiologic cervical atrophy occurs in most women during perimenopause or menopause, while pathologic cervical atrophy can be caused by inflammation caused by Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae, malnutrition, and other diseases. If the atrophy is accompanied by discomfort or other symptoms, it should be examined in the hospital. Inflammation and long-term malnutrition can cause cervical atrophy, and most of the cervical atrophy belongs to physiological aging. If there are other symptoms, such as abnormal discharge or discomfort, you should consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of cervical atrophy and inflammation, and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
