Although there is a certain correlation between cervical erosion and pregnancy, there is no absolute causal relationship. Generally speaking, cervical erosion does not affect pregnancy, but if it becomes severe, it may affect pregnancy. Does cervical erosion of third degree affect pregnancy? Let's learn about it together.
Cervical erosion is generally divided into mild erosion (first degree erosion), moderate erosion (second degree erosion), and severe erosion (third degree erosion) according to the size of the erosion surface. So third degree cervical erosion belongs to severe erosion, and the surface of the cervix is covered with erosion. The symptoms that occur at this time can affect pregnancy.
Generally speaking, when cervical erosion is severe, there is an increase in vaginal discharge, which is easily accompanied by infection. The large number of white blood cells and bacteria that appear may have a lethal effect on sperm. In addition, inflammation of the cervical mucosa may stimulate the growth of hyperplasia and polyps, which can block the cervical opening and prevent sperm from passing through smoothly, leading to infertility. Furthermore, at this time, cervical mucus will be relatively viscous, which will seriously hinder the normal activity of sperm and prevent them from penetrating. This symptom is the reason that affects pregnancy.
Patients with cervical erosion, whether mild, moderate, or severe, should go to the hospital for necessary examinations every year to prevent lesions. It is also recommended that women who want to conceive should not choose to conceive when cervical erosion is severe. They should actively treat cervical erosion before considering pregnancy.
