Patient's question:
I have cervical erosion of degree 2. The doctor once said that it is possible for me to get pregnant. However, I have been divorced from my husband for 4 years now, and during these 4 years, we did not take any contraceptive measures yet we did not get pregnant. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, it was found that my cervical erosion is degree 2, and there are no problems with my husband's health.Doctor's answer:
Mild and moderate cervical erosion generally do not cause infertility. Cervical erosion leading to infertility only occurs when the erosion is severe and accompanied by other inflammatory conditions, with cervical secretions containing a large amount of white blood cells and pathogenic bacteria. The secretions become significantly more abundant than before and are more viscous, disrupting the normal vaginal microecological environment and physiological environment, thereby limiting sperm motility and prolonging survival time. Due to inflammation, cervical mucosa may become fibrotic, leading to polyps obstructing the cervical opening, directly affecting the smooth passage of sperm. The viscous cervical mucus hinders normal sperm movement and prevents sperm from entering the uterine cavity, reducing the chances of sperm and egg fusion and thus causing female infertility.
