Patient's question:
I need to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. I have polyps in my cervix. I'm planning to have a baby. Can I get pregnant? Will it affect the health of the baby? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, cervical polyps will naturally have an adverse effect on pregnancy. Polyps located at the cervix opening can obstruct a portion of semen from entering the uterine cavity. If the sperm count increases, the fertility rate will be reduced. The essence of cervical polyps is chronic cervical inflammation, which often produces a significant amount of inflammatory secretions. These secretions, containing a large number of red and white blood cells and pathogenic bacteria, can destroy the physiological environment of the vagina, reducing sperm vitality and prolonging its survival time. Cervical polyps can also cause the mucus at the cervix opening to form a mucus plug, thereby obstructing sperm from entering the uterine cavity. There are several treatment methods for cervical polyps, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods used will also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
