Patient's question:
Can cervical inflammation cause infertility? Is infertility possibly caused by chronic cervical inflammation?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 from passing through the cervical canal. The secretions within the cervix obstruct sperm movement, and the cervical secretions also affect sperm motility, leading to infertility.
