Chronic cervicitis is a long-term inflammation of the cervix that can damage reproductive health and general gynaecological health. Chronic cervicitis often occurs due to untreated or recurring illnesses, including sexually transmitted infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms. Chemical irritants, allergies, or long-term mechanical irritation from things like intrauterine contraception can also be causes that don't spread.

Women with chronic cervicitis may have symptoms like unusual vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, spotting between periods, or pain during sex. Nonetheless, certain instances remain asymptomatic and are identified only during standard gynaecological tests. Chronic inflammation can change the quality of cervical mucus, which could make it harder for sperm to move and lead to infertility.

A pelvic exam, cervical swab tests, and tests for infections are usually part of the diagnosis. A Pap smear, which is a test to check for cervical cancer, or a biopsy, which involves taking a small sample of tissue for examination, may be suggested in some circumstances to rule out precancerous abnormalities such as Cervical Dysplasia.
Depending on the reason, treatment may involve antibiotics, antiviral drugs, or anti-inflammatory therapy. It's also vital to address things that make the problem worse and keep excellent hygiene. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can help avoid problems and keep reproductive health stable.
