Does cervical erosion affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Female, 38 years old, feeling unwell in her body recently. She has been experiencing frequent vaginal discharge and the frequency is increasing. The discharge is also smelly. She underwent a TCT test and found cervical erosion. Will cervical erosion affect pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

It will be affected. The cervical secretions continuously increase and mix with a large number of white blood cells and pathogenic bacteria, disrupting the normal physiological environment of the vagina, limiting the motility of sperm, and prolonging the duration of intercourse. Due to inflammation, the cervical mucosa may become fibrotic, leading to polyps that can block the cervix, directly impacting the smooth passage of sperm. The cervical mucus becomes viscous, hindering the normal activity of sperm. Cervical erosion can affect infertility.
