Patient's question:
I have never been pregnant, and the cervical check-up showed no problems, but I have always had cervical discharge. What are the causes of cervical infertility?Doctor's answer:
1. Cervical canal dysplasia: Severe dysplasia of the cervical canal makes it slender in shape. In moderate dysplasia, the ratio of cervical length to uterine body is 1:1, known as the "adolescent-type uterus." Cervical canal dysplasia can lead to insufficient secretion function of cervical glands.2. Abnormal cervical canal position: Chronic pelvic inflammation or endometriosis may cause the uterus to be extremely retroverted, retroflexed, or antiflexed, making the external cervical os adhere to the anterior fornix. This results in the shallowing of the posterior fornix, losing its function as a sperm reservoir, thereby hindering sperm ascent. Additionally, cervical elongation, shortening, or prolapse can also obstruct sperm ascent.
