Does 2nd degree cervical erosion affect fertility?

Cervical erosion is a very common gynecological disease. Generally speaking, when patients suffer from cervical erosion, there will be an increase in secretions, and long-term stimulation of the vulva can also cause itching of the vulva. If cervical erosion cannot be treated in time, it will affect the patient's normal reproductive function. Patients with second-degree cervical erosion must pay attention to go to the hospital for early treatment. Currently, the primary treatment methods include laser therapy, microwave therapy, etc. Medication is also available for treatment. Second degree cervical erosion seriously threatens the health of female patients, so it is important to pay attention to early treatment to avoid affecting the final fertility.

When infertility occurs due to cervical erosion, especially moderate or severe cervical erosion, cervical secretions will increase significantly, become thick in texture, and contain a large number of white blood cells that can phagocytize sperm. This will have an adverse effect on sperm motility, hinder sperm from entering the uterine cavity, and affect conception. The physical and chemical properties of cervical mucus have obvious changes. It contains more white blood cells and the pH value of the mucus is alkaline. When sperm passes through the cervix, not only will the inflammatory microenvironment of the cervix reduce the motility of the sperm, but the sticky secretions will also make it difficult for the sperm to pass through. The inflammatory secretions will also be toxic to the sperm, causing them to consume too much energy and shorten their lifespan. In addition, a large number of sperm will be swallowed up by inflammatory cells and destroyed by bacteria and their toxins. Escherichia coli has a strong agglutination effect on sperm, causing them to lose their motility. In addition, some patients with cervical erosion often have combined endocrine dysfunction. All these increase the difficulty for them to conceive. Therefore, if you have cervical erosion, you must actively treat it to avoid infertility.

For patients with second degree cervical erosion, there is a certain risk of infertility. Because if cervical erosion occurs, there will generally be more uterine secretions. It affects the normal combination of sperm and egg. Because it affects the normal entry of sperm into the uterine cavity. Therefore, if a patient suffers from second degree cervical erosion, he or she must go to a regular hospital for early treatment. Through active treatment, the patient's clinical symptoms can be improved and the occurrence of infertility can be prevented.
