Patient's question:
Is infertility caused by cervicitis possibly triggered by chronic cervicitis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic cervicitis is the most common gynecological disease. It is often caused by pathogens invading the cervix after childbirth, miscarriage, or surgical injury, and it can develop from acute cervicitis. Due to the inflammation, the cervical mucus becomes thick and purulent, which hinders sperm passage through the cervical canal. The secretions within the cervix obstruct sperm movement, and the cervical secretions also affect sperm motility, leading to infertility.
