Cervicitis can turn into cervical cancer?

Patient's question:

Does cervical inflammation turn into cervical cancer?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, currently research shows that cervical cancer is related to the occurrence of high-risk HPV infection. If there is cervical inflammation but no high-risk HPV infection, malignant transformation generally does not occur. Chronic inflammation of the cervix usually does not transform into cervical cancer, but the presence of this inflammation weakens the resistance of the vagina and cervix, making it easier to induce HPV infection. Persistent HPV infection can easily lead to cervical cancer. Therefore, chronic inflammation and cervical cancer are related to cervical cancer, but there is no causal relationship between the two.
