Will cervical erosion affect fertility? Analysis of the causes of infertility caused by cervical erosion

Many people may not know that cervical erosion will affect fertility to a certain extent. Let us understand this issue.

1. Will cervical erosion affect fertility?

Generally speaking, mild cervical erosion will not cause infertility problems. When cervical inflammation continues to develop, cervical secretions increase and become thicker, which will affect fertility.

During inflammation, cervical erosion contains a large number of white blood cells. When sperm passes through the cervix, the inflammatory environment will reduce the vitality of sperm, and the sticky secretions also make it difficult for sperm to pass. Inflammatory cells will also engulf a large number of sperm, and the remaining sperm will be destroyed by bacteria and their toxins. If personal hygiene is not paid attention to, secondary E. coli infection will also cause sperm to have a strong agglutination effect, causing sperm to lose vitality. The above various toxic effects on sperm cause sperm to consume too much energy and shorten their lifespan, which not only has a certain impact on the activity of sperm, but also hinders sperm from entering the uterine cavity, thereby ultimately reducing the chance of sperm and egg combination. Therefore, in general, the fertility of people with cervical erosion is generally lower than that of normal people. But will cervical erosion definitely lead to infertility? The answer is of course no. In fact, whether it will lead to infertility depends on your specific situation.

There is another saying: cervical erosion is not a disease, but a normal displacement of columnar epithelial cells on the surface of the cervix. So it does not need treatment. However, the editor believes that mild cervical erosion may be this normal cell displacement. Moderate and severe cervical erosion affects the patient's life and needs to be treated in a regular hospital.

2. Causes of infertility due to cervical erosion

1. Cervical erosion can cause the vaginal mucus to contain a large number of white blood cells. During the conception process, when sperm passes through the uterine cavity, the white blood cells will engulf the sperm, reduce the vitality of the sperm, hinder the passage of the sperm, and create certain obstacles to conception.

2. Cervical erosion is very harmful to sperm, shortening its lifespan and affecting its motility. It also prevents sperm from meeting and combining with egg, making it impossible to form a fertilized egg, thus affecting female conception.

3. In severe cases of cervical erosion, cervical secretions will gradually increase, the amount of leucorrhea will increase, and the texture will become thicker, which will affect the entry of sperm into the cervical opening; and a lot of nutrients will be consumed when secreted, affecting the quality of sperm.
