What is cervical stenosis

Nowadays, many female friends have cervical stenosis. Cervical stenosis is a relatively common phenomenon, but it can affect women's mental and physical health as well as their normal work and study. This makes many female friends feel confused and worried, and many friends have begun to pay attention to this issue. So, what exactly is cervical stenosis? This is a question that everyone is curious about. Next, let's explore cervical stenosis, hoping to help everyone:

1 Overview

Cervical stenosis is one of the causes of female infertility. The morphology of the cervix and the function of cervical mucus directly affect whether a considerable number of sperm can swim into the uterine cavity to be capacitated. Organic or functional diseases of the cervix affect the entry and storage of semen or sperm in the cervical canal. The cervix is ​​the first barrier for sperm to pass through, and any changes in its anatomy and physiology can affect the passage of sperm and cause infertility.

2 Reasons

1. Congenital cervical stenosis, often accompanied by uterine hypoplasia;

2. Acquired cervical stenosis is usually caused by adhesion after cervical electrocautery during cervicitis examination or the use of certain corrosive drugs in the vagina or cervical canal.

3. It is occasionally seen during surgical repair of the cervix, and can also be caused by improper treatment of trauma.

3 Symptoms

1. Cervical stenosis in women mainly means that the cervix is ​​narrower than normal. Severe cases are not conducive to the outflow of menstruation, which will cause irregular menstruation, etc. If the menstruation is abnormal, it will affect women's physical health and fertility.

2. It makes it difficult for women to get pregnant because the narrowness is not conducive to the entry of male sperm, so women cannot conceive normally.

4 Clinical manifestations

1. Menstrual abnormalities may occur. Menstrual blood will not flow smoothly during menstruation, and the menstrual cycle will be prolonged. At the same time, menstrual blood will be in the form of drips, and women may also suffer from dysmenorrhea.

2. There may be uterine bleeding or fluid accumulation in the uterus, which will cause women to feel distended and painful in their lower abdomen. In severe cases, it may cause scars in women. During sexual intercourse, there may be pain or female infertility.

3. Women with cervical stenosis generally have local laceration scars. The texture of the scars is relatively hard and firm, and the external opening of the cervix is ​​relatively narrow. At this time, only the probe can enter the female's cervix, or even the probe cannot enter the female's cervix. If a woman's entire cervical canal is covered with scars, causing the canal to become narrow, the cervical canal will become enlarged and hardened.

4. If a woman has cervical cysts, myomas, or swelling in the cervix, an ultrasound examination will show local lesions. She also needs to diagnose whether the cervical opening is narrow.

After listening to the above introduction, we found that cervical stenosis is not as terrible as we imagined. I believe that my friends have already understood this, and I hope it will be helpful to everyone, so that we can better master the knowledge about cervical stenosis and better treat cervical stenosis. I hope everyone will recover soon.
