WARNING SIGNS OF CERVICITIS
What is cervicitis?
Cervicitis is an irritation or infection of the cervix. A number of different organisms can cause it. Cervicitis can be either acute, meaning symptoms start suddenly and are severe, or chronic, lasting over a period of months or longer.
What causes cervicitis?
Cervicitis may be caused by any of a number of sexually transmitted infections including:
- Gonorrhea
- Chlamydia
- Herpes
- Trichomoniasis
It is often confused with vaginitis.
What are the symptoms of cervicitis?
While each woman may experience symptoms differently, the following are the most common symptoms of cervicitis:
- Purulent discharge (containing pus)
- Pelvic pain
- Bleeding between periods or after sexual intercourse
- Urinary problems
What are the complications of cervicitis?
Cervicitis is caused by organisms that can move up into the uterus and fallopian tubes if not treated. This can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID can lead to infertility and peritonitis, a life-threatening infection.
The symptoms of cervicitis may look like other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your health care provider for a diagnosis.
