Cervicitis refers to the swelling and inflammation you may encounter when you have an infection in your cervix. The cervix is at the lower end of your uterus that includes the narrow opening into your vagina. The cervicitis infection usually is a side effect of a sexually transmitted infection (STI), but it can also occur from other non-infectious sources.

It's possible to have cervicitis and not even know it; symptoms aren't always apparent. Most common symptoms include changes in the discharges from your vagina or bleeding between your periods.

Very often, you first may learn that you have cervicitis when you have your annual pap smear exam or if you have to have a biopsy taken as part of another examination.

Symptoms that may get your attention before your exam, however, may include:

Discharge that's yellow, brown, or green - in large amounts and that have a foul-smelling odor
Pain around and in your vagina
Pain when you have sexual intercourse
Pain when you urinate
More frequent urination than usual
Bleeding after you have intercourse
Bleeding after you've undergone menopause

A feeling of pressure in your pelvic area
While you should make an appointment to see your gynecologist in NYC Dr. Mariz, if you have any of these symptoms, you must get in quickly if you experience a persistent discharge or have pain during sex or heavy bleeding that's not associated with menstruation. Delaying medical treatment can encourage further complications.

Symptoms should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by your gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan to exclude any serious underlying condition.
