Patient's question:
Had persistent cervical inflammation, and the cervix was treated with LEEP. Is this the reason for infertility? What are the causes of cervical infertility in women?Doctor's answer:
1. Cervical dysplasia: Often accompanied by uterine dysplasia, leading to insufficient secretion function of cervical glands.2. Abnormal cervical canal position: Often accompanied by abnormal uterine body position. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis can cause extreme retroversion and retroflexion of the uterus, making the external cervical os adhere to the fornix, leading to shallowing of the posterior fornix and loss of its function as a sperm reservoir, thereby hindering sperm ascent. Congenital cervical canal atresia and stenosis often occur after induced abortion or cervical electrocautery or cryotherapy.
3. Cervical fibroids: If cervical fibroids are too large, they can cause deformation and stenosis of the cervical canal, thereby affecting the normal passage of sperm. Clinical manifestations mainly include menstrual irregularities, increased leukorrhea, or symptoms affecting the bladder and rectum. Gynecological examination may reveal prominent fibroid nodules in the cervix or changes in the shape of the cervix.
