At mid-cycle, estrogen causes the mucus to become thin, watery, and stretchy thus more readily allowing sperm into the cervix. If an abnormality occurs in the mucus, the environment may be unfavorable for sperm travel. Furthermore, the cervix may become blocked by benign tumors or severe scarring. Cervical Stenosis is the blockage of the cervical canal from surgery complications. In extreme cases that are unresponsive to surgical therapy, gestational surrogacy may be an option.
Uterine fibroids are benign, abnormal growths occurring in the uterus.
They are also one of the leading causes of infertility in women. Uterine fibroids can be treated with a surgical procedure called a hysterectomy. A hysterectomy is the complete removal of all feminine reproductive organs. It is the most common surgical procedure in women. New technology enables myomectomy to be an option for some women.
