Factors of cervical erosion
Cervical erosion refers to a disease in which the cervical epithelial cells turn outward to the surface of the cervix and are exposed to the outer mouth of the cervix to cause inflammation. The existence of cervical erosion can be affected by many factors. The following are some common factors that cause cervical erosion:
1. Abnormal estrogen level: too high or too low estrogen secretion level may lead to cervical erosion. Estrogen is one of the main hormones in the female reproductive system, which can promote the proliferation of cervical epithelium, and then lead to inflammation. When the secretion of estrogen is abnormal, cervical epithelial cells are vulnerable to stimulation, thus forming cervical erosion.
2. Suffering from sexually transmitted infections: some sexually transmitted infections, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, gonorrhea, syphilis, etc., can lead to cervicitis, which further leads to cervical erosion. These pathogens will destroy the structure of cervical epithelium, make it vulnerable to infection, and eventually form cervical erosion.
3. Endometriosis: Endometriosis refers to the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, such as the cervix, fallopian tube, etc. Endometriosis may cause cervical epithelium to be stimulated and form cervical erosion. In addition, endometriosis can also cause pain, irregular menstruation and other symptoms.
4. Physiological factors: Physiological factors may also be one of the reasons for the formation of cervical erosion. Under physiological conditions, the female cervical epithelium has certain pigment deposition and carbohydrate metabolism, and these physiological changes may lead to the eversion of epithelial cells, leading to cervical erosion.
Is test tube baby suitable for patients with cervical erosion
Test tube baby is an assisted reproductive technology, which is applicable to many different infertile patients. However, for women with cervical erosion, IVF is not a suitable choice. Here are some reasons:
1. Decreased pregnancy success rate: cervical erosion will lead to cervical epithelial damage and inflammation, thus affecting the normal growth of endometrium. This may reduce the success rate of implantation of fertilized eggs and lead to IVF failure.
2. Cause early abortion: cervical dysfunction due to cervical erosion, including cervical relaxation and lack of elasticity, may increase the risk of early abortion. A stable cervical environment is required for embryo implantation and embryo development in the process of IVF, and cervical erosion may lead to premature loss of embryos.
3. Impact of endometriosis: Cervical erosion often coexists with endometriosis, which may increase the risk of complications during IVF. Endometriosis will lead to structural abnormalities of the uterine cavity and cervix, increasing the difficulty of embryo implantation and development.
In conclusion, cervical erosion is closely related to the success rate and pregnancy outcome of IVF. For women with cervical erosion, it is recommended to treat cervical erosion before receiving IVF to improve the chance of pregnancy success.
