Understanding Endocervicitis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Endocervicitis is a condition where the cervix becomes inflamed. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. Endocervicitis can be caused by a variety of factors, including bacterial infections, viral infections, and other medical conditions.
Symptoms of endocervicitis may include:
* Abnormal bleeding or discharge from the vagina
* Pain or discomfort during sex
* Pain or pressure in the lower abdomen
* Fever or chills
* Burning sensation while urinating
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to see a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment. Endocervicitis can be treated with antibiotics or other medications, depending on the underlying cause. In some cases, endocervicitis may be a sign of a more serious condition, such as cervical cancer, so it is important to receive prompt medical attention if you experience any unusual symptoms.
