Chronic cervicitis and intercourse bleeding

Chronic cervicitis may cause intercourse bleeding. Chronic cervicitis is a chronic inflammation of the cervical mucosa caused by long-term infection or stimulation by pathogens. The main symptoms include increased leucorrhea, intercourse bleeding, and lower abdominal pain. Bleeding during intercourse may be related to inflammation leading to cervical tissue congestion, erosion or polyp formation.

When patients with chronic cervicitis experience intercourse bleeding, the cervical mucosa may become fragile due to inflammatory stimulation, and mechanical friction during intercourse may easily lead to capillary rupture and bleeding. The bleeding is usually small and appears as spotting or bloody discharge, which may be accompanied by mild pain. If inflammation is not controlled in time, the frequency of bleeding may be aggravated, and long-term repeated bleeding may affect the quality of life.

Coital bleeding in a small number of patients may be related to complications such as cervical polyps and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Cervical polyps are benign hyperplasia caused by chronic inflammation. They are brittle and prone to bleeding. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is a precancerous lesion and may cause contact bleeding. These two situations require a clear diagnosis through gynecological examination, cervical cytology screening, etc.

Patients with chronic cervicitis should avoid frequent sexual intercourse and pay attention to sexual hygiene. It is recommended to wear cotton breathable underwear and avoid using harsh lotions to clean the vulva. You should eat a light diet and consume more foods such as broccoli and kiwi fruit that are rich in vitamin C to enhance immunity. If intercourse bleeding occurs, you should seek medical treatment in time. The cause should be clarified through colposcopy and pathogen detection. You should follow the doctor's instructions and use Baofukang suppository, anti-metritis tablets and other drugs for treatment. If necessary, you should receive physical therapy such as laser or cryotherapy.
