Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been divorced for a long time now, about five years. But I haven't been able to get pregnant. At first, it was because both of us had unstable jobs and the family's economy wasn't good, so we never thought about it. Now I want to, but I have developed cervical inflammation now. This really makes me anxious.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 fertility. Therefore, you should treat cervical inflammation before getting pregnant. Mild cervical inflammation may not require treatment, but severe cervical inflammation can itself affect fertility, so it needs to be treated. Before treatment, a cervical scraping 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. There are several treatment methods for cervical inflammation, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are noticed.
