Why does damage to the cervix cause fertility problems?
Cervix is organ which is connected to ovaries and enables sperm to reach eggs in ovaries and to fertilize them. Cervical infertility can be considered as inability of the sperm to pass through the mouth of the uterus due to some kind of damage of the cervix. The reason for cervical damage include: inadequate cervical mucous, stenosis or cervical narrowing, infections of the cervix with common sexually transmitted diseases (chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomonas or some other bacteria), or even immune response to sperm known as “sperm allergy” or immune reaction of sperm.
