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 occur from other, noninfectious sources too.

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.

Series of Symptoms
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, it’s vital that you get in quickly if you experience a persistent discharge or if you 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 underlying serious condition.

Do not wait any longer and make an appointment with Dr. Mariz by either calling our Union Square office at (212) 378-9985 or our Upper East Side NYC office at (212) 389-1904.
