Overview

Mucopurulent cervicitis often is asymptomatic, but some women have an abnormal vaginal discharge and vaginal bleeding (e.g., after sexual intercourse).

History and Symptoms

• Abnormal vaginal bleeding
  • After intercourse
  • After menopause
  • Between periods
• Unusual vaginal discharge
  • Gray, white, or yellow color
  • May have an odor
• Painful sexual intercourse
• Pain in the vagina
• Pressure or heaviness in the pelvis

Note: There may be no symptoms, so it is recommended that certain women be tested for chlamydia, even if they do not have symptoms.
