About Cervicitis

Cervicitis is the inflammation of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. This common gynecological condition is often caused by infections, most frequently sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like chlamydia and gonorrhea, but can also result from non-infectious irritants or an imbalance in vaginal bacteria. An Obstetrics and Gynaecologist diagnoses cervicitis through a pelvic exam, visual inspection of the cervix, and laboratory tests on cervical mucus or discharge. Treatment is crucial to prevent complications like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, or an increased risk of HIV transmission. Management typically involves targeted antibiotic therapy for infectious causes or addressing the underlying irritant, ensuring a full recovery and restoration of cervical health.
