Cervicitis in Nepal
- Very common — one of the most frequent genital findings in women.
- STI under-recognized — the infective cause (CT/GC/Mgen/trich) is often missed as "just discharge."
- PID gateway — the untreated cervicitis ascends to PID and infertility.
- Contact-bleeding significance — needs the cervix assessed, not dismissed.
Cervicitis — the Cervical Inflammation
Cervicitis is **inflammation of the cervix** — producing mucopurulent cervical discharge, contact bleeding (after sex or examination), and sometimes pelvic pain or dyspareunia. It's frequently a **sexually-transmitted infection** — chlamydia and gonorrhea are the commonest infective causes, with M. genitalium, trichomoniasis, and BV also contributing.
The key clinical importance is that **cervicitis is the gateway to PID** — the ascending infection that causes infertility and ectopic pregnancy. Correctly identifying and treating cervicitis prevents that progression.
This page covers recognition, the infective causes, the treatment, and the partner/PID-prevention management.
Recognizing Cervicitis
Mucopurulent discharge
A yellow-green mucoid or pus-like discharge — the characteristic sign on examination.
Contact bleeding
Bleeding with cervical touch/sex — the friable inflamed cervix.
Sometimes asymptomatic
Often mild or unnoticed — found on examination or with the associated discharge.
Pelvic discomfort
Pain, dyspareunia, or the heaviness that signals the inflammation.
The Causes
Chlamydia + gonorrhea
The commonest infective causes — the NAAT-detectable STIs.
M. genitalium + trichomonas
The emerging and the protozoal causes — need specific tests.
BV/others
Vaginal dysbiosis and other organisms contribute.
Non-infective
Mechanical, chemical, and idiopathic causes also occur.
The Correct Testing
The **cervical swab NAAT for CT + GC + trichomonas** + examination for the mucopurulent discharge/contact bleeding — the specific cervical testing, not just a "discharge" assessment.
A full STI panel + HIV is done because cervicitis signals a risk pattern; and the M. genitalium testing when the standard causes are negative but the cervicitis persists.
Treatment + the PID Prevention
Cause-matched antibiotic
CT/GC-specific treatment — the correct antimicrobial for the identified pathogen.
PID assessment
Check for the ascending infection (cervical-motion tenderness, fever, adnexal tenderness) — PID needs more aggressive treatment.
Partner treated
The sexual partner is treated — prevents the reinfection.
Abstinence + retest
No sex until cured; retest at the correct interval.
Why It Matters
Cervicitis is the gateway to PID — the ascending infection that scars the tubes and causes infertility/ectopic pregnancy. Treating the cervicitis correctly prevents that progression.
The persistent non-resolving cervicitis needs the full work-up — M. genitalium, non-infective causes, and the correct identification are the key.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is cervicitis?
Inflammation of the cervix — producing mucopurulent discharge + contact bleeding. Frequently a sexually-transmitted infection (chlamydia/gonorrhea/M. genitalium/trichomonas).
Is it serious?
Yes — it's the gateway to PID, the ascending infection that causes infertility/ectopic. Correct treatment prevents the progression.
What testing is needed?
A cervical NAAT for CT/GC/trich + the full STI panel + M. genitalium when persistent — the specific cervical specimen.
Does the partner need treatment?
Yes — the infective cervicitis transmits; the partner must be treated to prevent reinfection.
