Silvia Azaña, embryologist at inviTRA, tells us in this video about the possible treatments for infertility due to cervical factor:
The treatment of cervical factor depends on the specific cause that is provoking it. The use of antibiotics is indicated in cases of vaginal infections or cervicitis. First, it is necessary to identify the microorganism causing the infection in order to select the appropriate type of antibiotic.
In cases of insufficient or inadequate cervical mucus, the administration of exogenous estrogens may lead to an improvement in the quantity and quality of cervical mucus.
Surgical intervention may be the appropriate method when there is a tumor that needs to be removed, as well as when there are developmental abnormalities of the cervix. Trauma to the cervix can also be repaired with surgery.
Finally, artificial insemination is the recommended assisted reproduction treatment for couples or women with cervical factor who wish to have a child. Artificial insemination is a very simple procedure that involves introducing previously prepared sperm into the uterine cavity with an insemination cannula. This way, the barrier formed by the cervix is avoided, and the chances of pregnancy are increased.
