Few days ago I felt pain in my stomach so I went to my doctor. He diagnosed me with cervitis. Even though he told me that I will be ok, I can’t stop worrying about it. Can I get more informations?
Cervicitis is an inflammation of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus extending about an inch into the vaginal canal. Cervicitis is the result of an infection, although it can also be caused by injury or irritation. It is the most common of all gynecological disorders, and any woman, regardless of age can have it. It does not matter if a woman only had one sexual encounter. Untreated, cervicitis can lead to problems conceiving or delivering a healthy baby. The first symptom of cervicitis is vaginal discharge that becomes increased immediately following your menstrual period. Other signs of cervicitis include bleeding, itching, or irritation of the external genitals, pain during intercourse and lower back pain. In its mildest form, you may not notice any symptoms at all. However, a more severe case of cervicitis can cause a profuse discharge with an unpleasant odor, accompanied by intense vaginal itchiness or abdominal pain. If you are checked by your doctor and if he told you that you will be ok, then you have nothing to be worried about.
