Brief Answer:
They are nothing serious

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand Your concerns about polycystic ovary(PCO) and cervicitis.

Following is my reply:

1. PCO is a normal phenomenon in many women with follicles arranged in the periphery of ovaries. There is nothing to worry about it and no action needs to be taken.

2. Cervicitis is inflammation of the cervix. This needs to be treated by a course of antibiotics after examination by your gynecologist. This is not serious and can be done when you are free.

I hope your doubt is cleared.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.

Regards
