What does a small cervix mean?

Women's health issues need to be taken seriously and should not be taken lightly. Many small problems will inevitably lead to big problems if not handled in a timely manner. Some female friends don’t even have a good understanding of basic gynecological knowledge, such as what a small cervical opening means. The cervix is ​​an important reproductive organ for women. A small cervical opening is likely to affect fertility. Let’s talk about this in detail below.

Women with a small cervix have a narrower cervix than normal, which is not conducive to the outflow of menstruation and may cause symptoms of irregular menstruation. If menstruation is often irregular, it will affect women's fertility and health, and they should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Generally speaking, a small cervix can be treated through surgery to dilate it, which can improve the condition and increase the chance of conception.

Does a small cervix affect fertility?

Generally speaking, if the cervix is ​​just a little narrower than normal, it will not affect fertility much. Although the cervical opening is relatively narrow, if there is no adhesion of the cervix, it will not have much impact on conception. However, if the cervix is ​​too narrow and much smaller than normal, it can cause infertility. Because the cervix is ​​the opening of the uterus, it is a channel that maintains an open passage with the outside world. If you want to conceive, sperm must pass through the cervix. If the cervical opening is too small, sperm cannot pass smoothly and the chance of infertility will greatly increase.

Medical technology is becoming more and more advanced. If you find that you have a small cervix after a check-up at the hospital, you don’t have to worry too much. It can be treated through surgery. Since a narrow cervix is ​​not conducive to the entry of male sperm, the chance of a woman not being able to conceive normally will increase. Surgical treatment causes less trauma, recovers quickly and is less likely to recur. If the cervix is ​​small, you must cooperate with the doctor in treatment to minimize damage to your reproductive function and physical health.

What are the symptoms of a small cervix?

A small cervix means cervical stenosis, which will affect women's health and life. Therefore, once symptoms appear, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. So what are the symptoms of a small cervix?

1. A small cervix is ​​prone to uterine bleeding or fluid accumulation. Women will feel distended and painful in their lower abdomen. In severe cases, scars may appear. There will also be pain during sexual intercourse, so special attention needs to be paid.

2. The cervix is ​​small, and menstruation will be obstructed. Due to the small cervical opening, menstruation cannot flow out normally, and there will be spotting and dysmenorrhea. If abnormal menstruation is found and the cycle is prolonged, you should also pay attention.

3. If a woman has cervical cysts, myomas, or swelling, local lesions are likely to occur. During the ultrasound examination, it should also be diagnosed whether the cervical opening is narrow.

4. If a woman's cervix becomes narrow, local laceration scars will appear, and these scars are relatively hard and firm. If there are more scars on the cervix, the cervical canal may become enlarged and hardened.
