Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

I understand your concern. There are several organism known to cause infection of cervix. There might be bacteria or fungal.

How is the discharge? If it is curdy white with strong odour, it is like to be Candidiasis i.e Candida infection. It is the commonest known organism to cause cervical infection.
It can be treated well with antifungals.

Visit your doctor, get examined and take treatment accordingly.

Wishing you good health.

With warm regards,
Dr. Sridhar
