Chronic cervicitis and painful intercourseFrom: Ann (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 20 Nov 2001 02:19:24 -0600 (CST)
I am looking for treatment options for chronic cervicitis. In the 16 months I have had a uterine polypectomy and cyst drainage done, and a para-ovarian cyst removal (both done laparoscopically.) The initial reason for a clinic visit was painful intercourse, and a abnormally heavy flow during menses. I am still having pain during intercourse, and was diagnosed with cervicitis. I have had cultures done (one was positive for ureaplasma germ and treated with antibiotics.) Other cultures have been negative. I have, over the last year been on Doxycycline(x4), Flagyl(x3), an i-m of Rocephin, and a Z-pak. No positive results, but did get yeast infections, treated with diflucan and otc creams. Have had cryo-surgery twice now; the second cryo treatment was done longer for a deeper freeze of tissue. 7 weeks after the second cryosurgery the cervicitis has not resolved and the cervix is still friable. A thin prep pap and colposcopy with biopsy were negative except to show cervical tissue was chronically inflamed. I have read in past posts that ceervicitis does not need to be treated; but without treatment intercourse remains painful. The clitoris is also red and sensitive; with an otc hydrocortisone cream the doctors choice of tx for that. Are there any other treatment options out there, or is surgery the next treatment to consider? Can any other medications cause a localized inflammation of the cervix? I have been searching the web, without much luck so far. Thank you for any direction you could assist me with.
