The Cervix and Cervical Mucus

Problems with the Cervix and Cervical Mucus:

Your cervical mucus plays a very important role in your ability to conceive.

Cervical mucus is the vaginal fluid that provides the necessary nurturing environment for the sperms to survive. Thus if you're producing an inadequate amount of mucus or have inhospitable mucus, it will harm the sperm coming into your vagina.

What can change the condition of your cervical mucus?

Hormonal imbalance in your body or cervical infection can lead to the production of hostile mucus that actually repels the sperm or stops the fertilized egg from attaching itself to the uterus.

Extensive surgical treatment can damage your cervical glands and you may not be able to produce enough mucus as a result. An inadequate supply of mucus will affect the motility of sperm through the vagina.

To help you conceive, your doctor may suggest that you try a procedure known as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) where your spouse's sperm is artificially inseminated into your vagina to enable you to conceive.

But before opting for the above procedure, there is a health supplement that will help your body produce more cervical mucus that you may like to try out first.

Cervical Stenosis or Cervical Narrowing:

Cervical Stenosis refers to the narrowing of the entire organ or its entrance. This condition makes it harder for the sperm to get through to reach the egg.

This is caused by infections with bacteria from common sexually transmitted diseases.
