Patient's question:
I got divorced from my wife over a year ago, and I really want a child. However, I don't know what the reason is, but my wife hasn't been able to get pregnant. We went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said that my wife has cervical erosion and is currently being treated. I would like to understand if cervical erosion affects fertility?Doctor's answer:
The commonly referred to cervical erosion is actually a common manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. Some patients mistakenly believe that cervical erosion is indeed tissue pus formation, causing them great concern, but this is not the case. Due to the long-term unresolved chronic inflammation, the existing squamous epithelium on the surface of the cervix peels off and is covered by fibrotic columnar epithelium from the cervical canal. This appears as red granular in appearance, which some people describe as "erosion." It does not affect pregnancy, but if it is severe, it may still affect the normal growth of the fetus. In addition to treating cervical erosion, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
