Can you get pregnant with mild cervical erosion? There are four common problems with mild cervical erosion.

In life, the main symptom of patients with mild cervical erosion is increased vaginal discharge, and sometimes this is the only symptom. What impact will it have on the conception and fertility of women of childbearing age? This is a question that many patients are quite concerned about. Even if the symptoms are mild, mild cervical erosion still requires certain treatment and prevention. So, can women with mild cervical erosion get pregnant?

1. Does cervical erosion affect fertility?

It is not possible to say that women with cervical erosion are fertile or infertile. For those with mild symptoms, there is no such thing as infertility. However, for those with severe cervical erosion, conception is affected to a certain extent. In fact, most cervical erosions are not true pathological erosions. Instead, under the regulation of hormone level fluctuations, the external opening of the cervix is ​​covered by the surrounding columnar epithelium, forming a granular, shiny red area on the surface. It looks like real erosion, but it is actually just a normal physiological phenomenon, not a disease.

2. Mild cervical erosion does not affect pregnancy

Does mild cervical erosion affect pregnancy? If it is just simple cervical erosion, without contact bleeding, abnormal leucorrhea, lower abdominal distension and other discomfort symptoms, and the cervical cytology examination is normal, you can get pregnant. Even if the patient with cervical erosion has mild inflammation, it will not affect conception, so women with mild cervical erosion can have children.

Although mild cervical erosion can lead to pregnancy, it also needs timely inspection and treatment. During the inspection and treatment of mild cervical erosion, conception cannot be carried out. Conception should be carried out after the inflammation is cured. Otherwise, the inflammation may worsen and develop into moderate cervical erosion, severe cervical erosion, and even cause ascending infection, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, endocervicitis, etc.

3. Will cervical erosion cause infertility?

The occurrence of cervical erosion is often related to childbirth and miscarriage. Cervical erosion may be asymptomatic. If symptoms occur, the main symptom is increased leucorrhea. Acute cervicitis leucorrhea is purulent, accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region, or bladder irritation signs such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain. Chronic cervicitis leucorrhea is milky white and mucous, or light yellow purulent; severe cervical erosion or cervical polyps may present bloody leucorrhea or bleeding after sexual intercourse. Mild cases may have no systemic symptoms. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity along the uterosacral ligament, there may be pain in the lumbosacral region, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and dysmenorrhea, which worsens during bowel movements and sexual intercourse. In addition, cervicitis changes the vaginal environment, increases toxins and inflammatory cells, and is not conducive to the survival and movement of sperm. The sticky and purulent leucorrhea prevents sperm from penetrating the cervix into the uterine cavity, leading to infertility.

4. Cervical erosion accompanied by inflammation affects conception

If patients with cervical erosion are accompanied by inflammation, such as purulent leucorrhea in the cervix, and infection with pathogens such as chlamydia or gonococci, the cervical mucus will become thick and contain a large number of white blood cells, which will be detrimental to the activity and penetration of sperm and will affect conception.

Therefore, women with severe cervical erosion cannot have children. They need to actively treat cervical erosion and try to get pregnant after the symptoms of cervicitis improve. Otherwise, the bacteria will go up along the cervix during pregnancy, which may cause complications such as premature rupture of membranes.

If there is an abnormality in cervical cytology, further colposcopy should be performed, and multiple biopsies or cone biopsies should be performed to remove the lesion specimens and send them for pathological examination. If the biopsy pathological results show a high-grade cervical lesion or above, the cervical erosion at this time needs surgical treatment. The relevant surgery may cause premature birth of the fetus.
