 | | The herpes virus (genital herpes) and human papilloma virus (genital warts) are two other sexually transmitted diseases that can cause cervicitis and abnormal changes in a Pap smear. | | | Increased risk is also associated with having a partner who has engaged in high-risk sexual behavior or who has had a previous sexually transmitted disease. | | | Cryosurgery, electrocauterization, and laser therapy are other treatment options that may be considered, if less invasive measures are not successful. |

| | Cervicitis is suspected if the patient has cervical motion tenderness, ie, she experiences pain or tenderness while the examiner gently moves the cervix from side to side. | | | Pathophysiology: Because the female genital tract is contiguous from the vulva to the fallopian tubes, there is some overlap between vulvovaginitis and cervicitis. | | | If genital warts are noted, subclinical lesions can be identified after applying a 3-5% solution of acetic acid and performing magnification with colposcopy. |

| | Neither finding correlated with gonorrhea or genital herpes, although herpes caused characteristic cervical ulcerations. | | | Among 100 randomly selected nonmenstruating women attending a clinic for sexually transmitted diseases, we assessed objective criteria for the clinical diagnosis of mucopurulent cervicitis. | | | The overall prevalence of mucopurulent cervicitis among women attending the clinic (40 per cent) exceeded that of nongonococcal urethritis among men in the same clinic, and the prevalence of C. trachomatis infection was higher in mucopurulent cervicitis than in nongonococcal urethritis, a condition that is conventionally treated with tetracyclines. |
