When persistent gynecological symptoms appear, an evaluation is worthwhile, since there could be inflammation of the cervix, also called cervicitis. It is the irritation or inflammation of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina.
Frequent symptoms:
- Vaginal discharge different from usual.
- Discomfort or light bleeding after intercourse.
- Burning or discomfort in the pelvic area.
Common causes: it is usually related to infections, although it may also be due to irritation from substances or physical factors.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who evaluates the cervix and, when a broader look is needed, the gynecologic oncologist gets involved; the family physician or the general practitioner can guide the first visit. Seeking care when symptoms do not go away allows the situation to be addressed with professional judgment.
