Patient's question:
Divorced for over a year, trying to conceive for more than a year, but still haven't been pregnant. I'm very anxious and keep guessing with my husband who the problem is. Coincidentally, his workplace organized a health check-up, and everything was normal. I had to secretly get a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I have cervical inflammation and cervical polyps.Doctor's answer:
Polyps located at the cervix resemble a fence, obstructing some semen from entering the uterus. With reduced semen volume, the sperm count inevitably increases, which in turn lowers fertility rates. Moreover, cervical polyps are essentially chronic cervical inflammation. Since it is an inflammatory condition, there will be a significant amount of inflammatory secretions. These secretions contain a large number of red and white blood cells and pathogenic bacteria. These secretions disrupt the natural environment of the vagina, reducing sperm vitality and prolonging sperm survival time. Additionally, cervical mucus forms a mucus plug, further obstructing sperm from entering the uterine cavity. As a result, sperm and eggs fail to meet, leading to obstructed conception.
