What Is Cervical Inflammation?
Cervical inflammation refers to irritation of the lining of the cervix. The condition is very common among women of all ages, though symptoms are most likely to appear between the ages of 10 and 25. Many different factors can contribute to cervical inflammation, including bacterial infections, allergic reactions, and sexually transmitted diseases. Inflammation may cause pain during urination and intercourse, unusual bleeding, or thick vaginal discharge. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, and most problems can be fully cured in a matter of weeks with antibiotics.
