10. How Is Cervicitis Prevented?
The majority of cases of cervicitis are related to sexual activity, so it makes sense that prevention of the disease involves being careful with sexual partners. Only engaging in sexual activity with one partner at a time and choosing a partner who does not participate in high-risk sexual activities can prevent many cases of cervicitis.
For those who engage in sexual activity with multiple partners, it is important to use condoms with each encounter and to make sure they are being used correctly. Since condoms can prevent the majority of sexually transmitted diseases, using them with each encounter can lower the chance of cervical inflammation significantly.
