this means your cervix is chronically (long term) inflammed and irritated

what causes >it?--

prehaps an infection, perhaps use of a cerivcal cap or diaphragm, perhaps due to uterine prolapse and a cervix too close to the vaginal opening

and how can it be treated?

depnds on hte cause -- if an infeciton, antibiotic pills or crams can do the trick. If it's from a cervical cap, using a different form of birht control can help

and can it be passed to your partener?

if it is from a STD like chlamydia it can -- chlamydia can be tested for

>will i always have it,

probably not

will it spread?

not likely

i think that covered it all! >thank you for your time can't wait for a reply
