Can I get pregnant with moderate cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion is common and widespread. Many women suffer from cervical erosion. Generally, they choose drug treatment. At present, the liposuction knife is also a way to treat cervical erosion in clinical practice. However, the harm of cervical erosion is still serious. So, can you still get pregnant if you suffer from moderate erosion?

Cervical erosion is a very common chronic cervical inflammation. Some patients have raised this question: If cervical erosion is not treated, will the entire cervix rot? In fact, cervical erosion is not true erosion. It is because after suffering from chronic cervicitis, the inflammation in the deep tissue of the cervix is ​​not easy to eliminate, the squamous epithelium on the surface of the cervix falls off due to nutritional disorders, and the peeling surface is gradually covered by columnar epithelium derived from cervical hyperplasia. Because the columnar epithelium is very thin, the underlying blood vessels and red stroma can be seen, making the erosion surface red and having a clear boundary with the surrounding normal squamous epithelium.

Clinically, the erosion is divided into three degrees: mild, moderate and severe according to the size of the erosion surface. Cervical erosion can be divided into three types based on its manifestations: simple erosion is more common in the early stage of inflammation, the erosion surface is covered by a single layer of columnar epithelium, and the epidermis is relatively flat and smooth; if the inflammation continues, the cervical epithelium will over-proliferate, the erosion surface will be uneven, and the appearance will be granular, which is granular erosion; if the glandular epithelium and interstitial hyperplasia are significant, the unevenness will be more obvious, and it will be papillary, which is papillary erosion. These three types can exist independently or coexist in an interlaced manner.

The texture and amount of cervical mucus secretion are directly related to whether sperm can pass through the cervix and enter the uterine cavity. Under normal circumstances, during ovulation, under the action of estrogen, the cervical mucus has a higher water content and a thinner texture, which is conducive to the passage of sperm. When cervical erosion occurs, especially moderate or severe cervical erosion, cervical secretions will increase significantly, become viscous, and contain a large number of white blood cells, which will have an adverse effect on sperm motility and hinder sperm from entering the uterine cavity, thus affecting conception. Generally speaking, mild cervical erosion will not lead to infertility; but if you suffer from moderate or severe cervical erosion and infertility, the patient should actively treat it.

Moderate to severe cervical erosion, especially granular or papillary cervical erosion, should be treated actively. Patients with cervical erosion who bleed during sexual intercourse or who have bleeding during examination should also be treated.

Before treatment, these patients should undergo routine cervical smear cancer prevention examinations. The presence of atypical proliferative cells does not mean that cancer will definitely occur, but only treatment can actively promote the transformation of cells for the better and prevent future problems. If necessary, colposcopy or biopsy can be performed to rule out cervical cancer. Women who wish to use an IUD for contraception must do so only after they have treated moderate to severe cervical erosion. Similarly, severe cervical erosion is also a contraindication for artificial abortion. Artificial abortion can only be performed after the cervical erosion has improved.

For women with long-term infertility, if no other causes of the disease are found, cervical erosion should be actively treated, which may bring you unexpected surprises.
