Can IUD cause cervicitis?

Insertion of an intrauterine device is the process of placing an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) to achieve the purpose of contraception. IUD placement generally does not cause cervicitis, because routine examinations are performed before placement of an IUD to exclude the possibility of gynecological inflammation. In addition, placement of an IUD is a sterile procedure, so the medical procedure of placing an IUD generally does not induce the occurrence of cervicitis, nor does it increase the chance of cervicitis after placement of an IUD.

The occurrence of cervicitis is mainly related to unclean sexual life, physical stimulation, and pathogen infection. Sexual life too early, too frequent, having sex during menstruation, multiple sexual partners, etc., can cause cervicitis. Men and women do not pay attention to cleanliness before and after sexual life, or women do not pay attention to genital hygiene, do not change underwear frequently, or always wear tight pants and other physical stimulations, which can easily lead to the occurrence of cervicitis. Various pathogen infections can also cause cervicitis, such as chlamydia infection, gonococcal infection, etc. Cervicitis usually requires secretion examination, and both men and women need to undergo treatment and reexamination at the same time. Some need oral azithromycin treatment, and some need intravenous injection of ceftriaxone sodium and other drugs.

In summary, placement of an intrauterine device generally does not cause cervicitis. Women with cervicitis are advised to seek medical attention promptly, conduct a secretion test to determine which pathogen is causing the infection, and follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
