  • Cervicitis
    Cervicitis is an irritation of the cervix. Acute cervicitis can be caused an infection such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, or herpes. Chronic cervicitis is common in women following childbirth.

    Women with endometriosis develop tissue that looks and acts like endometrial tissue outside the uterus, usually on other reproductive organs inside the pelvis or in the abdominal cavity.

  • Pap Test
    A Pap test is a way for your doctor to examine cells collected from the cervix for infection, inflammation, or cancer.
  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
    Untreated, PID can cause infertility and can also lead to chronic infection or even peritonitis.

    Pelvic pain is a common complaint among women. Its nature and intensity may fluctuate, and its cause is often obscure.
