Patient's question:
When the menstruation was less than 5 days, I had a check-up and it was said that I was not pregnant. Then it was found that I have cervical inflammation, which is mild and not serious. However, the doctor still recommended me to take medicine and wait until it is healed before having a baby. But I want to focus on preparing for pregnancy this month and postpone taking medicine.Doctor's answer:
When the cervix is inflamed, a large number of pus cells can engulf sperm, reducing sperm vitality and prolonging sperm lifespan. Even if some sperm manage to survive, it is difficult for them to smoothly pass through the cervix and enter the uterine cavity, thereby reducing the chances of conception. Therefore, it is important to treat cervical inflammation before pregnancy. Mild cervical inflammation may not require treatment, but severe cervical inflammation can itself affect fertility, necessitating treatment. Before treatment, a cervical smear test should be performed to rule out other types of inflammation. If cervical inflammation is diagnosed, the treatment method can be determined based on the treating hospital.
