Cervical factor: female infertility due to anomalies in the cervix

Infertility of cervical origin

The cervix is ??the channel that connects the vagina with the uterus. Its approximate size is 3 cm and it has two important functions related to fertility:

  • It is the place where sperm enter their path to fertilize the ovum
  • It is the tube through which the baby is born after 40 weeks of gestation during a vaginal delivery.

Any alteration in the cervix can imply a sterility problem. However, only between 5 and 10% of couples with difficulty getting a pregnancy have infertility caused by cervical factor.

Cervix and cervical mucus

In addition to the structure of the cervix itself, inside the cervix we find a key component for female fertility: the cervical mucus. Next, we will comment on its functions and characteristics.



Alterations of the cervix

Alterations of the cervix that can lead to sterility by a cervical factor can be differentiated into anatomical or functional.

In both cases, the correct migration of sperm to the uterus and the fallopian tubes is affected.

Treatment

The treatment of the cervical factor depends on the specific cause that is causing the infertility. Next, we will comment on the most frequent treatments nowadays:
