Other STIs and Genital Conditions

Mucopurulent cervicitis 2

Because cervicitis may or may not be due to an STI such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, the initial management depends on a woman's risk for STIs. For women at risk, treatment without laboratory confirmation should be undertaken. Women at low risk can be treated if necessary when test results become available.
