Clinical manifestations include abnormal vaginal discharge, lower abdominal discomfort, urinary urgency, urinary pain, etc., but a considerable number of patients have mild symptoms or no symptoms. Gynecological examinations reveal cervical congestion and edema, easy bleeding when touched, and increased yellow viscous secretions.
