cervicitis

I have had undiagnosed symptoms for 2 years now.  Yesterday, I went to a different doctor, and he feels I have cervicitis.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I ama little worried as to its origins.  I had my annual exam, including a pap smear.  I did have abnormal paps consistently over 10 years ago.  I was treated for HPV and genital warts at that time.  I have had normal paps for awhile now.  My symptoms start usually right after my period ENDS.  I have heavy cramping, itching, discharge and pelvic discomfort.  This can last the rest of my cycle until my period begins again.  Any information anyone has on this would be greatly appreciated.

For infectious causes of cervicitis such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, your health care provider will prescribe antibiotics. Depending on the cause, you may be given antiviral agents, such as acyclovir (Zovirax), to treat genital herpes.

Copy and paste to this site for more info on the antibiotic:

The thing is I have been tested for all STDs many times and they have all come back negative.  I am a little baffled as to what could be causing this, unless the HPV from years ago is back.  Thanks for the info, I will look it up.
