A member asked:

Can bacterial vaginosis cause cervicitis and can cervicitis cause cervical cancer?

Specializes in surgery

Yes: Vagina and cervix are in continuity and infection of one touches the other. Chronic infection, cellular irritation, can lead to cellular abnormal meta plasma and proliferation and thus malignant proliferation.
