The main symptoms of chronic cervicitis include:
1. Abnormal vaginal discharge: increased vaginal discharge that may be thick, purulent, and sometimes mixed with blood streaks or small amounts of blood.
2. Pain: frequent pain in the lower abdomen or lumbar region, which may worsen during menstruation, defecation, or sexual intercourse.
3. Bladder and intestinal symptoms: chronic cervicitis may affect the bladder, causing urinary frequency or difficulty urinating; some patients may experience bowel discomfort, such as pain during defecation.
4. Discomfort during intercourse: pain during sexual intercourse or mild itching of the external genitalia.
5. Contact bleeding: irregular bleeding may occur during sexual intercourse or similar activities.
These symptoms may vary among individuals and may gradually worsen as the condition progresses. If any of the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for professional evaluation and treatment.
