How do you know if you have cervicitis?

The only surefire way to know if you have cervicitis is to have an evaluation with your healthcare provider. Cervicitis symptoms to watch for include:

• Abnormal vaginal discharge that may be yellow, white, or gray and have an unpleasant odor.
• Unexpected light vaginal bleeding.
• Painful sexual intercourse.
• Vulvar or vaginal irritation.

It’s especially important to seek medical care if you notice any of the above symptoms or have had an STD in the past. It should also be noted that some people don’t experience cervicitis symptoms. Therefore, regular gynecological exams are essential so that your healthcare provider can check for any abnormalities.
