Long-term gynecological inflammation may cause cancer, but not necessarily, patients do not need to be overly nervous. For example, the risk of cancer increases in the case of HPV infection, while the risk of cancer is generally lower in the case of bacterial inflammation. However, as long as there is gynecological inflammation, it is necessary to follow the doctor’s instructions for timely treatment to prevent the condition from deteriorating.
First of all, it should be clear that long-term inflammation does not necessarily lead to cancer, but it does not exclude the risk of cancer. Patients with long-term gynecological inflammation and HPV infection have a higher risk of developing cervical cancer than normal people.
According to clinical statistics, about 5% to 10% of patients with HPV infection will develop cervical cancer after 5 to 10 years. Patients with long-term gynecological inflammation should go to the hospital in time for relevant examinations, such as vaginal ultrasound and electronic colposcopy, in order to find out the condition and treat it in time.
Long-term gynecological inflammation should be treated even if there is no HPV infection. Repeated inflammatory infections can lead to recurrent fever and adhesions at the site of the lesion, affecting the quality of life.
