Additionally connected to cervicitis is bacterial vaginosis. Mechanisms and chemicals that irritate the body are examples of non-infectious causes. Merely pessaries, condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps, or tampons are examples of foreign items or surgical equipment that might result in mechanical trauma. Chemical irritants, which include latex spermicides , soaps , laundry products vaginal douches, and contraceptive creams, might trigger allergic reactions. Cervicitis has also been linked to systemic inflammatory illnesses such as Behcet syndrome and lichen planus. Cervicitis can be mimicked by the hypoestrogenic state associated with surgical or natural menopause. However, in over half of the cases, the precise causes remain unknown. Clinically speaking, it is impossible to distinguish between inflammation brought on by infectious agents and that brought on by mechanical or chemical irritants.
