Patient's question:
We've been trying to get pregnant for a few months now, but haven't been able to yet. Our sexual life is also well-planned, as our periods are quite regular and follow the ovulation cycle. We don't have any issues with infertility. However, during a recent gynecological examination, we found cervical erosion and thick, purulent cervical mucus.Doctor's answer:
Hello, cervical erosion can lead to infertility because the viscous cervical mucus is not conducive to sperm penetration. An increase in leukorrhea is the main symptom of this condition, typically appearing as creamy or pale yellow purulent discharge. Due to the increased leukorrhea, the external genitalia and vagina may develop secondary infections such as vulvitis or vaginitis, causing itching and pain in the area. The occurrence of cervical infertility not only affects the patient's life but also may lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to drink more water and maintain good personal hygiene.
