What is the impact of cervical erosion on women preparing for pregnancy? Five ways in which cervical erosion affects women's pregnancy

Cervical erosion is a common and prone disease among women, and it is very important to many women. Especially for young women who are preparing for pregnancy, will cervical erosion affect pregnancy? What are the reproductive problems caused by cervical erosion to women? Generally speaking, mild cervical erosion will not affect conception, but if the cervical erosion is more serious, it will easily affect pregnancy.

1. Does cervical erosion affect women's pregnancy?

It is not possible to say in general that women with cervical erosion can or cannot have children. Patients with mild cervical erosion can get pregnant, but for patients with moderate and severe cervical erosion, pregnancy is affected to a certain extent. In fact, most cervical erosions are not true pathological erosions, but under the regulation of hormone level fluctuations, the external cervical opening is covered by the surrounding columnar epithelium, forming a granular, shiny red area on the surface, which looks like real erosion, but it is actually just a normal physiological phenomenon, not a disease.

2. Mild cervical erosion does not affect pregnancy

If it is just simple cervical erosion, without contact bleeding, abnormal leucorrhea, lower abdominal distension and other discomfort symptoms, and the cervical cytology test is normal, it will not affect the female pregnancy, then you can get pregnant. Even if the patient with cervical erosion has mild inflammation, it will not affect conception.

3. Cervical erosion accompanied by inflammation affects pregnancy

If patients with cervical erosion are accompanied by severe inflammation, such as local purulent leucorrhea in the cervix, and infection with pathogens such as chlamydia or gonococci, the cervical mucus will become thick and contain a large number of white blood cells, which can phagocytize sperm, hinder sperm activity and penetration, and prevent sperm from entering the uterine cavity, which will affect conception and should be treated in time.

4. Untreated cervical erosion can lead to female infertility

After cervical erosion occurs, the secretion will increase. The secretion contains a large number of white blood cells and pathogenic bacteria, which will destroy the normal environment of the vagina and cause an imbalance in the acid-base environment in the vagina. White blood cells will devour sperm, which will limit the activity of sperm and shorten their survival time, affecting the penetration ability of sperm, thereby affecting female pregnancy. Therefore, once cervical erosion occurs, it should be treated in time to avoid the expansion of the erosion area. Try to get pregnant after the symptoms of cervicitis improve. If you do not actively treat it, it will cause various problems such as female infertility.

5. How does cervical erosion lead to female infertility?

First, cervical erosion causes an increase in cervical secretions and a thick texture. These secretions contain a large number of white blood cells. When sperm passes through the cervix, the sperm will be less active in the environment of cervical inflammation, and the thick secretions will hinder the passage of sperm, thus affecting pregnancy. Secondly, cervical erosion is caused by a variety of pathogens, which will devour a large number of sperm and affect the quality of sperm. Among them, Escherichia coli can also cause sperm to have a strong agglutination effect, making the sperm lose its vitality and thus causing women to be unable to get pregnant.

Therefore, cervical erosion still has a certain impact on pregnancy. Although mild cervical erosion will not prevent pregnancy, if left untreated, cervical erosion will become more and more serious. Having sex during the pregnancy preparation period will reduce sperm motility, resulting in a long period of inability to conceive. In addition, patients with cervical erosion also carry a large number of pathogens, which affect the reproductive environment and are not conducive to fetal growth.
