Patient's question:
I recently want to have a baby, but it turns out the busier I am, the more chaotic things get. Since this week, my leukorrhea has been abnormal—yellow and in large quantities. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I have cervicitis, and there's a possibility of it spreading to cervical erosion. He advised me to start treatment first.Doctor's answer:
Chronic cervical inflammation can lead to infertility. When cervical inflammation recurs and develops into cervical erosion, especially moderate to severe cervical erosion, the cervical secretions will significantly increase in amount, becoming thick and containing a large number of white blood cells. This has an adverse effect on sperm motility, hindering sperm from entering the uterine cavity and affecting childbirth.The cervix is located between the vagina and the uterus, serving as both an important defensive barrier for the internal reproductive system and a critical component of perinatal physiology and endocrine function. Cervical inflammation is a common condition among women of reproductive age, categorized into acute and chronic cervical inflammation. It is often caused by trauma to the cervix during childbirth, miscarriage, or surgery, followed by the infiltration of pathogens. Additionally, it is associated with frequent sexual activity, physical or chemical irritation, endometritis, and vaginitis.
