The treatment of chronic cervicitis typically involves the following aspects:

1. Local medication: Doctors may prescribe anti-inflammatory medications, such as antibiotic ointments or suppositories, which are applied directly to the cervix to eliminate inflammation. For infections caused by fungi or trichomonads, corresponding antifungal or antiparasitic medications will be selected.

2. Physical therapy: This includes local heat therapy or electrocoagulation therapy, aiming to improve blood circulation, promote absorption of inflammation, and facilitate tissue repair.

3. Acid-base balance regulation: Using acidic solutions (such as acetic acid) to rinse the vagina helps restore the normal vaginal pH, which can help inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms.

4. Lifestyle modifications: Maintaining good personal hygiene, avoiding excessive cleaning, reducing irritation during sexual activity, and avoiding the use of chemical substances that may cause allergies or irritation.

5. Regular follow-up: During treatment and after recovery, regular gynecological examinations are recommended to monitor cervical condition and ensure effective control of inflammation.

Treatment plans should be developed by qualified physicians according to individual circumstances. Self-medication is not recommended.
