Patient's question:
Is the harm of cervical polyps significant? How is it treated? Will it interfere with getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
If cervical polyps cannot be treated promptly and effectively, they can lead to infertility. The experts in infertility at Tong Ren Hospital tell you that the surface of the cervical canal is covered with a layer of mucosa. Due to long-term stimulation from chronic inflammation, the mucosa of the cervical canal undergoes continuous fibrosis and stacking, and from the basal layer of the mucosa to the weak area of the cervix, forming cervical polyps. Larger polyps can reach several centimeters in diameter, have a stalk, and become weaker at the cervix as they grow. Smaller polyps remain in the cervical canal and only slightly protrude from the cervix. Cervical polyps can interfere with conception because polyps at the cervix can obstruct some sperm from entering the uterine cavity. If the sperm count increases, the fertility rate will be reduced.
