What is Cervicitis?- Causes, Symptoms and Ayurvedic Treatment
Abstract
The cervix is the lower part of the female uterus that connects the vagina with the uterine cavity. It acts as a barrier to avoid the insertion of infections inside the reproductive cavity. Inflammation of this part due to any cause is called Cervicitis. This infection is common in females up to 25 years of age who are indulged in foul practices. Cervix contamination increases the chances of infections in the whole reproductive cavity and more complications. Since it is contagious and infectious, proper isolation and avoidance of any sexual activity is a must. Through this article, we will discuss various causes that lead to the growth of infectious bacteria inside the cervix and what are the symptoms of Cervicitis. Ayurvedic medicines to deal with this inflammatory condition in females are also detailed in this article.
