Cervicitis is a common health problem that many women face. It is an infection of the cervix, which causes many symptoms.
Severe infections are usually caused by infection transmitted from the husband. Transmissible diseases that may cause cervicitis include: Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Genital herpes, Trichomoniasis, Mycoplasma.
Other causes of inflammation may include:
1 – Allergy to chemicals in spermicides, sterile showerheads, or latex in the protective device.
2- Irritation or injury from tampons, tampons, or birth control devices such as diaphragms.
3- Bacterial imbalance, where unhealthy or harmful bacteria overwhelm healthy bacteria.
