Definition/Description[edit source]
- Cervicitis is defined as the inflammatory response of the cervix to a particular stimuli
- Can be acute or chronic; with chronic occurring due to inadequate treatment or recurrent inflammation
- Non-specific cervicitis is the most common; meaning that it is unrelated to an STI like chlamydia or gonnorhea
- A single instance or acute cervicitis is usually due to an infection like chlamydia or gonnorhea, while chronic is typically due to a non-infectious source
- If left untreated cervicitis can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease
Prevalence[edit source]
- Cervicitis is currently rarely reported to epidemiologists making true numbers for prevalence roughly estimated from about 8%-40%
- About 61% of cervicitis cases are of unknown etiology
Characteristics/Clinical Presentation[edit source]
- In many case cervicitis remains asymptomatic
- If symptomatic, person may experience vaginal discharge, dyspereunia, intermenstrual bleeding, or postcoital bleeding
- Occasionally will present in an abnormal fashion, such as a cervical growth or uterovaginal prolapse, but that is rare and usually due to delayed or no treatment
