Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Chronic nongonococcal nonchlamydial cervicitis (NGNCC) has an unknown cause and limited treatment data.
  • This study reviews management strategies and outcomes at a single tertiary care center.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the experience of managing women with chronic NGNCC.
  • To analyze treatment effectiveness and cure rates for NGNCC.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 61 women diagnosed with cervicitis (ICD-9 code) from April 2008 to March 2014.
  • Diagnostic criteria included mucopurulent discharge and/or cervical bleeding, with negative testing for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomoniasis.
  • Treatment outcomes were analyzed, defining cure as symptom resolution.

Main Results:

  • Initial antibiotic treatment cured 65.6% of patients.
  • Nineteen patients required further interventions, including secondary antibiotics, hormonal therapy, silver nitrate, cryotherapy, and loop electrosurgical excisional procedure.
  • Overall, 93.4% of women were eventually cured, with silver nitrate and loop electrosurgical excisional procedure showing 100% cure rates.

Conclusions:

  • Chronic NGNCC can cause persistent symptoms.
  • Antibiotics are effective for most cases, but alternative treatments, including surgical options, may be necessary for refractory cases.
  • Further research into NGNCC etiology and optimal treatment algorithms is warranted.
