Cervicitis may cause left-sided vaginal pain.
Cervicitis is an inflammation that occurs in the cervix of the uterus and is one of the most common gynecological conditions. One of the common clinical symptoms of cervicitis is an increase in vaginal discharge, which irritates the vagina with left-sided vaginal pain, which can be exacerbated when engaging in sexual intercourse.
In addition to vaginal pain, cervicitis may also lead to lower back and abdominal pain. Other common clinical symptoms of cervicitis include irregular vaginal bleeding, which may occur after sexual intercourse or between menstrual periods; leukorrhea, which is sometimes increased, is mucopurulent, grey, light yellow or green, and may be accompanied by a bad odor; and irritation of vaginal secretions, which may cause vulvar itching and a burning sensation.
Cervicitis may cause left-sided vaginal pain, but left-sided vaginal pain is not necessarily cervicitis, it may also be caused by other diseases such as vaginitis. When the patient has left side vaginal pain, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a professional examination to clarify the cause of the disease and be treated by a professional doctor.
