Cervicitis is an inflammation of the cervix usually due to a bacterial, parasitic or viral infection. The disease is mainly transmitted through unprotected sex with a person who is a carrier of a sexually transmitted infection such as chlamydia, gonorrhea or herpes. However, it can also result from irritation or injury caused by intolerance to the chemicals in contraceptives or tampons. It is also important to know that a pregnant mother with cervicitis can transmit the infection to her baby. This can cause the baby to go blind if treatment is neglected.
Symptoms of cervicitis
Cervicitis is often asymptomatic. However, there are some warning signs of the disease. Infection can be declared by leucorrhea, a whitish, mucous or purulent discharge from the female genital tract. This discharge becomes more pronounced after the menstrual cycle. On the other hand, the patient presents with vaginal bleeding, itching or irritation of the external parts of the genitals, pain during sexual activities and a burning sensation when urinating. In the most severe cases, the patient is prone to profuse, a discharge with an unpleasant odor accompanied by severe vaginal itching or abdominal pain. A fever or nausea is even possible in case the infection spreads throughout the body.
Homeopathic care
Argentum nitricum is recommended first for the treatment of cervicitis because of its effectiveness in the field of gynecology. This homeopathic remedy based on silver nitrate is diluted and then packaged in the form of granules. It acts, mainly on pain during urination and that felt in the genitals. Its dosage is 5 granules daily from 9 to 30CH, for a period of 3 months. Erigeron Canadensis is another homeopathic remedy for treating cervicitis. Made from an asteracean plant, whose polyins and polyenes have an anti-inflammatory property, this drug is taken in a single dose of 15CH once a day to counter the infection.
When to see a doctor?
If cervicitis is left untreated, it can spread and spread to internal organs, especially the reproductive organs. The woman may then have difficulty getting pregnant or she becomes prone to miscarriages. For this reason, you should immediately consult a doctor as soon as unusual pain or discharge appears. The patient should be treated with the medication prescribed by the doctor, at the same time as her sexual partner carrying the infection.
