To overcome this problem first step should be antibiotic therapy in acute phase. If this fails, the infection becomes chronic and may spread to internal genital organs leading to pelvic inflammatory disease and eventually to infertility. Chronic form of infection may necessitate tissue destruction to prevent the development of dysplasia and neoplasm. Various methods such as electrocautery, loop diathermy, cryotherapy or laser are used to destroy the inflamed area. In this study we present 26 cases of chronic cervicitis managed with Nd-YAG laser with a success rate of 93%. We advice this method to block the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasm.
