Patient's question:
A while ago, due to feeling unwell, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. After the examination, the result was that I had cervical inflammation. They prescribed some medication for me, and I have been taking it these past couple of days. Since I don't have any children yet, my mother-in-law is very worried about the impact it might have.Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis can lead to infertility. This is because when a woman experiences cervical erosion again, especially moderate or severe cervical erosion, the cervical secretions will significantly increase in amount, become viscous, and contain a large number of white blood cells. This has an adverse effect on sperm motility, obstructs sperm from entering the uterine cavity, and affects childbirth. Cervicitis can also cause complications. After developing cervical erosion, it may trigger inflammation in other organs, such as: the pathogens of cervical erosion can descend to cause endometritis; it can spread through the parametrium ligaments and lymphatic vessels to lead to chronic pelvic inflammation; when the inflammation affects the trigone area of the bladder, it can cause urinary system diseases, resulting in symptoms such as dysuria, urinary frequency, or difficulty urinating.
