What is cervical effusion?

Cervical effusion refers to the accumulation of fluid in or around the cervical canal, which may be a symptom of physiological changes or pathological diseases. Common causes include chronic cervicitis, cervical gland cyst, endometriosis, reproductive tract infection or postoperative complications.

1. Chronic cervicitis

Long-term inflammatory stimulation leads to increased secretion of cervical glands, which may form mucus effusion. Patients are often accompanied by symptoms such as increased leucorrhea and contact bleeding. For treatment, Baofukang suppository, Xiaomi vaginal effervescent tablets and other drugs can be used according to the doctor's advice, combined with physical therapy such as infrared irradiation. Pay attention to perineal cleansing on a daily basis and avoid frequent vaginal douching.

2. Cervical gland cyst

Retention cysts formed after the cervical gland ducts are blocked, and the fluid in the cysts is mostly clear mucus. Smaller cysts usually do not require treatment. Larger cysts may cause lumbosacral swelling, which can be eliminated through LEEP surgery or microwave treatment. You need to refrain from bathing in the bath for 1-2 months after the operation, and check the recovery of the cervix regularly.

3. Endometriosis

When ectopic endometrium invades the cervix, periodic bleeding may form old hematuria. Typical symptoms include increased abdominal pain during menstruation and painful sexual intercourse. Treatment options include dienogest tablets, goserelin sustained-release implants and other drugs to inhibit intimal growth. In severe cases, surgery is required to remove the lesions.

4. Reproductive tract infection

Infections with gonorrhea, chlamydia and other pathogens can cause purulent effusion, often accompanied by odorous discharge and lower abdominal pain. After diagnosis, antibiotics such as azithromycin dispersible tablets and doxycycline enteric-coated capsules need to be used in a standardized manner, and sexual partners should be treated simultaneously. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during treatment to avoid cross-infection.

5. Postoperative complications

Lymph or blood may accumulate after cervical conization, induced abortion and other surgeries, which may appear as yellowish or bloody exudation. Cefixime granules need to be used prophylactically to prevent infection, and heavy physical labor and swimming are prohibited within 1 month after surgery. If bleeding continues, seek medical attention promptly to rule out cervical adhesions.

After cervical effusion is discovered, TCT, HPV testing and ultrasound examination should be completed to rule out malignant lesions. Maintain a regular daily schedule, and appropriately supplement foods containing vitamin E and selenium, such as nuts, deep-sea fish, etc., to enhance the ability of mucous membrane repair. To avoid local moisture caused by long-term use of panty liners, it is recommended to choose cotton breathable underwear. If abnormal vaginal discharge or menstrual disorders occur, you should seek medical attention from a gynecologist promptly.
