If it is not sexually transmitted, you need not go with the infection. If an infection is suspected, the main goal of treatment is to eliminate the infection and prevent from spreading to uterus and fallopian tubes. Therapeutic agents like antibiotics, antifungal medications, antiviral medications can be used for the treatment depending on the organism which causes infection.
From past several years, the major research is going on for the understanding of cervicitis. It has extended beyond the recognition of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae as the prime etiologic suspects. Trichomonas vaginalis and herpes simplex virus cause cervicitis and both Mycoplasma genitalium and bacterial vaginosis have emerged as new etiologic agents.
