Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I had a medication-induced miscarriage in April of two years ago. Later, I developed third-degree cervical erosion, and the treatment showed no significant improvement after a period of time. Last December, I became pregnant again, but the cervical erosion treatment was only reduced to second-degree before another miscarriage occurred. Currently, I haven't gone back to the hospital for cervical erosion treatment. I've heard that cervical erosion can lead to infertility, and I'm very worried! I would like to ask the experts for their advice and help.Current general condition: The discharge is normal, but it is relatively abundant, with occasional lower left abdominal pain. The hair is quite thick.
Doctor's answer:
Hello:The consistency and volume of cervical mucus directly affect whether sperm can pass through the cervix and enter the uterine cavity. Under normal circumstances, during the ovulation period, under the influence of estrogen, cervical mucus contains a high water content, is thin in 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 experiencing infertility, they should actively seek treatment for this condition.
