The mouth of the uterus is called the cervix. It is a condition with an infection or swelling in the mouth of the uterus or cervix. It may vary from acute to chronic infection.

Bacterial and chlamydial are two main infection reasons for cervicitis. In 40% of the cases, chlamydial infection is a causative agent. Treatment for cervicitis, Besides, gonorrhea, bacterial vaginosis, and Herpes Human Papillomavirus also contribute.

First, doctors perform clinical examinations of the patient. The clinical study includes a type of discharge and may recommend a few tests. A microscopical examination of discharge clearly gives the clear picture of causative agent. The doctor may advise Pap Smear Test. If the patient has a chronic infection, then doctors do a vaginal culture swab test.  It identifies the type of infection and suitable antibiotic.
