Vulvar or Vaginal Irritation
Cervicitis causes irritation and inflammation of the cervix. However, it's common for infections and irritation to spread to other parts of the female reproductive organ quite easily.6‘Cervicitis: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia.’ MedlinePlus, U.S. National Library of Medicine, medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001495.htm For this reason, vulvar or vaginal irritation can often signal a person has cervicitis.
Irritation can also happen in these areas due to other causes. Irritation from chemicals, such as those found in douches, is one common culprit. Another common culprit is engaging in intercourse without proper lubrication.
