What does narrow cervix mean?

Many couples have not been able to have a child of their own after many years of marriage. After repeated examinations and diagnoses, they found out that it is related to some health issues of the uterus, including cervical inflammation, thin uterine membrane, tumors and other diseases. The most common is cervical elongation, which means that it will affect the normal combination of the fertilized egg and normal pregnancy, thus leading to infertility. Let’s take a look at what does narrow cervix mean?

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.

reason

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.

symptom

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 menstrual irregularities, 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.

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.
