Common cervical issues include cervical dysplasia, cervicitis, and cervical cancer. Cervical dysplasia refers to abnormal changes in the cells on the surface of the cervix, which could potentially lead to cervical cancer if untreated. Cervicitis is the inflammation of the cervix usually caused by infections such as HPV, chlamydia, or gonorrhea. Cervical cancer, often linked to persistent HPV infection, is a serious condition that can be life-threatening if not detected and treated early.
