Patient's question:
I have been trying to conceive for a long time but haven't been able to get pregnant. The hospital check-up report shows cervical erosion, but the doctor said it will never interfere with conception. However, I am quite worried, so I want to ask if this condition can lead to infertility?Doctor's answer:
According to what you said, cervical erosion can lead to infertility. The texture and discharge of cervical mucus directly interfere with whether sperm can pass through the cervix and enter the uterine cavity. Under normal circumstances, after menopause, under the effect of estrogen, cervical mucus contains more water and has a texture that is more conducive to sperm passing through. When cervical erosion occurs, especially moderate and severe cervical erosion, cervical secretions will significantly increase, becoming thick and containing a large amount of white blood cells, which will adversely affect sperm activity, obstruct sperm from entering the uterus, and thus interfere with conception. Severe erosion significantly interferes with conception, and in some cases, surgery may be necessary. After surgery, it is important to avoid sexual activity for two months, maintain vaginal cleanliness, avoid spicy and cold foods, rest, and consume immune-boosting foods.
