Inflammation of the cervix, usually caused by infection (bacterial, viral, or fungal) and characterized by pain, discharge, or bleeding.
From Latin cervix (cervix) plus -itis (inflammation); follows the medical suffix pattern for inflammatory conditions like bronchitis, colitis, and meningitis.
Cervicitis is actually really common and easily treatable with antibiotics, but it's one of those medical conditions people get embarrassed about—though remembering that '-itis' just means 'inflammation' makes it seem way less mysterious.
