What problems does cervical inflammation cause during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Our female employees in our unit had health check-ups, and the results were received today. The doctor said I have cervical inflammation and asked me to come back for a follow-up check-up in one month. I have been trying to conceive for over two years and have not been able to get pregnant. Now that I have been diagnosed with cervical inflammation, I wonder if it has anything to do with it?

Doctor's answer:

When the cervix is inflamed, a large number of pus cells can consume 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 necessary to treat cervical inflammation before pregnancy. Mild cervical inflammation may not require treatment, but severe cervical inflammation can itself affect fertility, so treatment is necessary. Before treatment, a cervical scraping should be performed to rule out other types of inflammation. If cervical inflammation is diagnosed, the treatment method can be determined based on the hospital where you are treated.
