Guest guest Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 Here is a good site regarding cervicitis if any one is interested. I found it very easy to understand. http://www.methodisthealth.com/WomensHealth/gynecerv.htm Chronic cervicitis is common in women following childbirth. It is also often associated with pregnancy and the use of oral contraceptives, probably due to an increased blood supply to the cervix as a result of increased hormone levels. Less commonly, cervicitis is caused by sensitivities to certain chemicals, including those in spermicides, latex, and tampons. What are the symptoms of cervicitis? The following are the most common symptoms of cervicitis, however, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: purulent discharge (containing pus) pelvic pain backache urinary problems Since infections within the vagina are easily passed to the cervix, where the infecting organism is harbored, the tissue of the cervix can become inflamed and/or form a cervical erosion, or open sore. One early sign of this is a pus-like vaginal discharge. In addition, as the cervical erosion worsens, cervical ulceration may develop.
