Acute cervicitis is typically caused by a sexually transmitted infection, It can also be caused by an infection due to other factors, such as an allergy to spermicide or condom latex, a cervical cap or diaphragm, or sensitivity to the chemicals found in tampons. Regular vaginal bacteria can also cause cervicitis.

Chronic cervicitis is common after childbirth. It may also occur during pregnancy because increased hormone levels cause increased blood flow to the cervix.

Some women are asymptomatic, but when symptoms are present, they can include:

abnormal vaginal bleeding
persistent gray or white vaginal discharge that may have an odor
vaginal pain
pain during intercourse
a feeling of pelvic pressure
backaches
If cervicitis progresses, the cervix can become very inflamed. In some cases, it can develop an open sore.This condition should be treat immediately by fuyan pill. Pus-like vaginal discharge is a symptom of cervicitis of this severity.
