A member asked:

Went to get a pap. doctor said cervix was slightly inflamed she didn't seemed worried.can you have a slightly inflamed cervix not from infections?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes you can: There are quite a few benign "non-infection" reasons why a cervix may appear to be "slightly inflamed" (recent sexual intercourse, use of contraceptives etc...) and most of time this "apparent inflammation" will resolve spontaneously and disappear.
