Introduction
Chronic cervicitis with squamous epithelial hyperplasia may be caused by pathogen infection, improper postoperative care, decreased immunity, unhygienic sexual behavior, or hormonal imbalance, and treatment should be based on the specific condition. Chronic cervicitis can lead to pathogen infections, particularly by streptococcus and staphylococcus; in some cases, it may be caused by Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections.
Chronic cervicitis accompanied by squamous epithelial hyperplasia may be caused by pathogen infection, inadequate postoperative care, decreased immunity, unhygienic sexual behaviors, or hormonal imbalances. Treatment should be tailored according to the specific cause. Detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Pathogen Infection
Chronic cervicitis can result from infections caused by pathogens such as streptococci and staphylococci. Some cases are due to *Chlamydia trachomatis* or *Neisseria gonorrhoeae* infections, while others may involve herpes simplex virus or other common pathogens. These infections can lead to chronic cervicitis with squamous epithelial hyperplasia. It is recommended to use medications under medical guidance, such as Xiaomi suppositories or Baofukang suppositories.
2. Inadequate Postoperative Care
Women may sustain cervical injuries during childbirth or gynecological procedures. If proper postoperative care is not taken, pathogens may invade and cause infection. If acute cervicitis is not effectively controlled, it may progress to chronic cervicitis, presenting the aforementioned symptoms. Patients can use medications such as metronidazole suppositories or doxycycline hydrochloride tablets under a doctor's supervision.
3. Decreased Immunity
Many women experience reduced immune function after miscarriage, childbirth, cervical injury, or suffering from reproductive system inflammation, making them more susceptible to bacterial infections and thus leading to the aforementioned complications. Patients should maintain a healthy diet. In severe cases, treatments such as electrocautery, microwave therapy, or Poem light therapy may be used to induce local tissue necrosis, followed by scab formation and shedding, achieving therapeutic effects.
4. Unhygienic Sexual Behavior
Having multiple sexual partners, early onset of sexual activity, frequent intercourse, or unprotected sex can increase the risk of developing chronic cervicitis. Patients should pay attention to sexual health. In severe cases, timely treatment at a正规 hospital using techniques such as radiofrequency ablation or cervical conization may be necessary.
5. Hormonal Imbalance
Low estrogen levels or high progesterone levels may interfere with the body’s ability to maintain healthy cervical tissue, potentially leading to chronic cervicitis with squamous epithelial hyperplasia. Under the guidance of a healthcare provider, patients may take hormone-replacement medications such as progesterone soft capsules or levonorgestrel-quinestrol tablets to restore hormonal balance.
In summary, if any of the above conditions occur, prompt medical consultation and treatment are essential to prevent worsening of the condition.
