The greatest hope for women of childbearing age is to conceive smoothly after marriage and give birth to their own baby. However, with the increase of the incidence rate of gynecological diseases in recent years, many women are affected and unable to conceive. Just like cervicitis, its occurrence can bring many harm to women's bodies, the most serious of which is affecting their fertility.
Does cervicitis have a significant impact on pregnancy?
Cervicitis has a significant impact on pregnancy. The cervix is located at the border between the uterus and vagina, where sperm must pass through the fallopian tubes and eggs. If cervicitis occurs due to inflammation and infection, the secretions produced by cervicitis contain many white blood cells, which will engulf sperm. The remaining sperm will be destroyed by bacteria and toxins, resulting in a decrease in the number of sperm and decreased motility, Sperm cannot combine with fallopian tubes through the cervix
In addition, when women discover cervicitis or do not receive timely treatment, inflammation spreads to the pelvis as the condition worsens, causing pelvic inflammation, which is also one of the main causes of infertility.
What are the hazards of cervicitis?
1. Causing miscarriage. Cervicitis is also one of the causes of habitual miscarriage. The occurrence of cervicitis can change the tissue of the uterus, decrease the elasticity of the birth canal, and result in miscarriage.
2. Affects sexual activity. If the condition of cervicitis is severe, women may feel pain and discomfort in the same room, and the phenomenon of refusing sexual activity over time can affect the quality of sexual life.
3. Appearing psychological burden. The condition of cervicitis is complex, and it is also very prone to recurrence, making treatment difficult. Patients also have a significant psychological burden due to the troubles of the disease.
4. Occurrence of pathological changes. When cervicitis develops into chronic cervicitis without timely treatment, the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation can lead to the emergence of more serious diseases such as cervical polyps and cysts.
5. Inducing cancer transformation. A survey shows that women with cervicitis are 10 times more likely to develop cervical cancer than women without cervicitis. Clinically, incurable cervicitis is one of the main causes of cervical cancer.
It is important to remind patients that many patients confuse cervicitis with cervical erosion. Cervical erosion is only a superficial phenomenon, and if there are no symptoms, treatment is not necessary. However, cervicitis is a gynecological disease caused by inflammation and infection, and if not treated in a timely manner, it can bring harm. Therefore, women should correctly distinguish between these two situations and never confuse them, resulting in treatment errors.
