6. Unclean or premature sexual life: Many women suffer from cervicitis due to unclean or premature sexual life.

1. Increased leucorrhea

Usually the leucorrhea is milky white or light yellow purulent secretion, sometimes bloody or mixed with blood. Vulvar itching and pain: The vulva and vagina may be stimulated by increased leucorrhea, which may lead to vulvitis or vaginitis and cause vulvar itching and pain.

2. Pain in the lower abdomen and lumbar region

When the inflammation is severe, it can spread along the uterosacral ligament and cardinal ligament and cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation, causing pain in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region, accompanied by a feeling of falling.
