Why does cervical erosion lead to infertility

Patient's question:

Why does cervical erosion lead to infertility?
Rinsing the vagina with warm water daily to reduce leukorrhea should help with conception, right?
Does cervical erosion affect the fetus if the woman is already pregnant?
Is it better for high-risk childbirth mothers to have a cesarean section?
Looking forward to a detailed reply, thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the texture and secretion volume of cervical mucus directly affect whether sperm can pass through the cervix into the uterine cavity. Under normal circumstances, during the ovulation period, under the action of estrogen, cervical mucus contains more water, has a thin texture, and facilitates sperm penetration. When cervical erosion occurs, especially moderate or severe cervical erosion, cervical secretions increase significantly, become viscous, and contain a large number of white blood cells. This has an adverse effect on sperm motility and can also hinder sperm from entering the uterine cavity, thereby affecting fertility. Generally speaking, mild cervical erosion does not lead to infertility; however, if a patient has moderate or severe cervical erosion and is infertile, they should actively treat this condition.
Generally, pregnancy in patients with cervical erosion may have some effects on the fetus, so they should actively treat the condition before considering pregnancy. Older pregnant women do not necessarily need a cesarean section; the mode of delivery is determined after examination, based on the condition of the fetal head and the mother.
