Can IUD cause cervicitis?

Generally speaking, IUD insertion will not cause cervicitis, but if the IUD is uncomfortable or if the patient is infected by pathogens during the insertion process, it is very likely to cause cervicitis. In addition, pathogen infection, bad sexual habits, induced abortion or childbirth, mechanical injury and drug abuse may all lead to cervicitis. Below we will introduce the specific causes of cervicitis.

1. Pathogen infection

Cervicitis occurs as a result of childbirth, miscarriage, or surgical injury. Cervicitis can be treated with some professional gynecological drugs. The main pathogens are: 1) Sexually transmitted disease pathogens: Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma Chlamydia. 2) Endogenous pathogens: Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli and anaerobic bacteria, etc. 3) Others: Protozoa include Trichomonas and Ameba. In special cases, it is caused by chemicals and radiation. These are the common causes of cervicitis.

2. Bad sexual habits

Many male friends have too rough sex lives, which results in damage to the various tissues of the female cervix and eventually causes cervicitis. Too frequent sexual activity is also an important cause of cervicitis.

3. Cervicitis caused by spontaneous abortion, diagnostic curettage and delivery

Although spontaneous abortion and childbirth do not necessarily require surgery, they still cause varying degrees of damage to the cervix and various tissues, which can easily lead to cervicitis. For women who have abortions or curettage, the incidence of cervicitis is higher. The mechanical stimulation or damage caused by such operations is obvious and it is easy to get infected, leading to cervicitis and other gynecological inflammations.

4. Mechanical stimulation or injury

The cause of cervicitis is related to sexual life. Natural or artificial abortion, diagnostic curettage and childbirth can cause damage to the cervix and lead to inflammation. Adult women should pay attention to contraception, avoid or reduce artificial abortion surgery, pay attention to postpartum hygiene, and avoid postpartum infection.

5. Drug Abuse

Many women have the habit of taking antibiotics and frequently using vulvar washes, which disrupt the balance of the female body's flora and endocrine balance and may also become the cause of cervicitis.
