Patient's question:
Two years ago during a gynecological examination, I was diagnosed with candidal vaginitis and mild cervical erosion. The doctor prescribed medication for the candidal vaginitis, saying that the mild cervical erosion was not a big deal, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Last year, I got married, but I still haven't been able to conceive this year. The hospital's examination results showed that I had developed severe cervical erosion and it was necessary to be treated. If not treated, it could lead to infertility.Doctor's answer:
Hello, cervical erosion is caused by inflammation, which leads to a significant increase in cervical secretions. The cervical mucus becomes thick and viscous, containing a large number of white blood cells. When sperm passes through the cervix, the inflammatory environment reduces sperm vitality. The viscous secretions also make it difficult for sperm to pass through. Inflammation caused by cervical erosion will engulf a large amount of sperm, and the remaining sperm are further destroyed by bacteria and their toxins. Metaphorically speaking, sperm are like being trapped in a mud, "drowning" in it. Cervical erosion increases the difficulty of conception, leading to infertility.
