Cervicitis is an inflamation (inflammation) in the cervix(the neck of the uterus where the opening is at).  It can cause pain and bleeding.  Infections caused by bacteria, trich, gonnorrhea, e-coli, staph, strep, yeast,chlamydia, etc.are to blame. A swab culture can be obtained by your gyn to get the right med to treat it. Some of the bacteria that causes cervicitis is part of the natural flora of the vaginal fluids. They just get imbalances and grow "out of control" and cause the infection.
