Does mild cervical erosion affect conception? Precautions for treating mild cervical erosion

The uterus is a relatively important reproductive organ in the female body. However, once a disease occurs in the uterus, it will seriously affect the female's physical health and fertility. Among them, cervical erosion is a relatively common gynecological disease. However, in the early stages of the disease, many women always think that it is no big deal and thus will not actively seek treatment. Let's take a look at whether mild cervical erosion affects conception.

Does mild cervical erosion affect pregnancy?

Generally speaking, mild cervical erosion will not affect pregnancy. If it develops into severe cervical erosion, it should be treated in time. It will not only affect pregnancy, but also have a tendency to become cancerous if not treated.

Generally speaking, for patients with cervical erosion, cervical secretions will increase significantly and become thicker. Since cervical secretions contain a large number of white blood cells, when sperm passes through the cervix, the inflammatory environment will reduce the vitality of sperm and make it difficult for sperm to pass through. Not only that, inflammatory cells will also devour a large number of sperm, and the remaining sperm will be destroyed by bacteria and their toxins.

If cervical erosion is combined with E. coli infection, it will cause sperm to agglutinate strongly, making the sperm lose its vitality. At the same time, it will hinder the sperm from entering the uterine cavity, thus ultimately reducing the chance of sperm and egg combining. Therefore, in general, the fertility of people with cervical erosion is generally lower than that of normal people.

treat

Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia does not require any treatment. Many current methods for treating cervical erosion are wrong. However, symptomatic cervicitis needs to be treated. Acute inflammation is treated with suppositories, and chronic inflammation can be treated with physical therapy such as laser or freezing.

prevention

Regular cervical examination is necessary, not to prevent cervical erosion, but to prevent cervical cancer. The occurrence of cervical cancer is related to infection with human papillomavirus (HpV). Some patients with high-risk HPV infection are prone to precancerous lesions and cervical cancer when they are persistently infected at the squamous-columnar junction of the cervix. Since the advent of cervical smears, the mortality rate of cervical cancer has dropped significantly. The key is early prevention and treatment. It is currently recommended that women over the age of 21 should undergo a cervical smear examination once a year. After the age of 30, an HPV examination can be combined. If three consecutive HPV and cervical smear tests are negative, the interval can be extended to once every three years, and screening can be stopped after the age of 65.
