Overview
Primary Prevention
Ways to reduce the risk of cervicitis include:
- Avoid chemical irritants such as douches and deodorant tampons.
- Foreign objects inserted into the vagina (such as tampons) should be placed properly.
- Not having sexual intercourse (abstinence) is the only absolute method of preventing sexually transmitted cervicitis. A monogamous sexual relationship with someone who is known to be free of any STD can reduce the risk.
- People can greatly lower your risk of catching an STD by using a condom every time they have sex. Condoms are available for both men and women, but are most commonly worn by the man. A condom must be used properly every time.
