If the patient’s condition is caused by infections such as Trichomonas vaginalis, bacteria, or fungi, nitrofurantoin may be used. Cervicitis is a relatively common gynecological inflammatory condition; patients may also undergo physical therapies—such as laser treatment or cryotherapy—for its management. It is recommended that patients seek prompt medical evaluation at a hospital upon experiencing any discomfort, and receive targeted treatment based on diagnostic findings—rather than using medications indiscriminately.
