What are the causes of infertility due to cervical factors? Infertility caused by cervical diseases accounts for approximately 5% to 10% of infertility cases. The anatomical position and function of the cervix determine its role in female physiology and endocrinology. The shape of the cervix and the function of cervical mucus undergo cyclical changes influenced by ovarian hormones, and the characteristic changes in cervical function during ovulation facilitate the passage of sperm, thereby ensuring that a sufficient number of sperm continuously enter the uterine cavity to become capacitated. The main mechanisms of cervical infertility are anatomical abnormalities of the cervix and abnormalities of cervical mucus. What are the causes of infertility due to cervical factors? Below, experts will provide a detailed introduction.
Experts introduce that common cervical disease factors causing infertility include the following points:
(I) Cervical malformations: absence of the cervix, double cervix malformation, congenital cervical canal stenosis, congenital cervical elongation, etc.;
(II) Abnormal anatomical position of the cervix: retroflexed cervix, upward tilted cervix, etc.;
(III) Cervicitis: cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, cervical canal inflammation, etc.;
(IV) Abnormal function of cervical mucus: reduced mucus secretion, thick mucus syndrome, etc.;
(V) Abnormal immunological function of the cervix: anti-sperm antibodies, etc.
Experts remind us: From the above, we know that there are many reasons for infertility caused by cervical diseases, and women should actively prevent cervical diseases to avoid infertility. At the same time, once women discover cervical diseases, they should seek timely treatment at the hospital to prevent infertility.
