Patient's question:
Recently, during the March 8th Women's Day, the company organized a health check-up for all female employees. I was diagnosed with cervical polyps, but I have been preparing to get pregnant with my husband recently. I still don't know if I am pregnant and I am very worried. I don't know what the impact of cervical polyps is on pregnancy and how it should be treated.Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are a pathological manifestation of cervical inflammation. They have a certain impact on pregnancy. One of the reasons for the recurrence of cervical polyps is primarily the long-term stimulation caused by chronic cervical inflammation. The cervical canal may also exhibit recurrent inflammatory secretions, which contain a large number of virus cells and pathogenic bacteria, damaging the physiological environment of the vagina and affecting sperm survival. In some cases, inflammatory secretions can completely clear sperm, leading to non-viable sperm and preventing delivery. The growth of polyps is mainly located at the cervical canal, which can obstruct the entry of semen into the uterine cavity. A significant increase in sperm quantity may occur, further reducing the chances of pregnancy. Additionally, cervical polyps can cause mucus to form at the cervical canal, leading to the formation of a mucus plug that hinders sperm entry into the uterine cavity, resulting in recurrent infertility.
