Current or Previous STD
Women who currently have an STD are at increased risk of developing cervicitis. In some cases, women who have previously had an STD may also be at risk. This is more common in women who have only recently cleared up an infection.
Common STDs leading to cervicitis development include gonorrhea and chlamydia. Gonorrhea is an infection that causes thick, unpleasant-smelling discharge and pelvic pain in women. Chlamydia is an STD that could potentially cause fertility issues in women.
