Patient's question:
When I was young, I once had cervical inflammation. Now that I'm married, I really want to have a child, but when I went for pre-pregnancy testing, the doctor said that cervical inflammation is very likely to cause miscarriage in infants. What is the impact of cervical inflammation on pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis can interfere with pregnancy to some extent. Here are the reasons:1. The cervical secretions are relatively abundant and more viscous, which obstructs the passage of sperm and affects their motility, hindering their entry into the uterine cavity.
2. The cervical secretions also contain a high number of white blood cells, which can absorb sperm.
3. Bacteria and toxins in the cervix can kill sperm. For example, E. coli can cause sperm to agglutinate strongly, leading to a loss of vitality.
4. The inflammatory environment can affect the survival conditions of sperm and reduce their motility.
