Cervical stenosis is a narrowing of the cervix, the opening to the uterus. The cervix is a muscular tube that connects the uterus to the vagina. It is lined with a mucus plug that helps to keep sperm and bacteria out of the uterus. The cervix also opens and closes during menstruation and childbirth.
The most common symptom of cervical stenosis is difficulty getting pregnant. Other symptoms may include:
Cervical stenosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Cervical stenosis can be diagnosed with a physical exam and a pelvic exam. The doctor may also order a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), which is an X-ray that can be used to look for blockages in the fallopian tubes and cervix.
There are a number of treatment options available for cervical stenosis. The best treatment for you will depend on the severity of your stenosis and your overall health.
There is no sure way to prevent cervical stenosis. However, there are a few things you can do to reduce your risk, such as:
Cervical stenosis can be a cause of infertility, but it is important to note that it is not the sole cause of infertility in all cases. If you are having difficulty getting pregnant, it is important to see a doctor to be evaluated for all possible causes of infertility. Treatment for cervical stenosis is generally effective and most women are able to get pregnant and have healthy babies.
The chances of getting pregnant with cervical stenosis vary depending on the severity of the stenosis and other factors, such as your age and overall health. However, some studies have shown that women with cervical stenosis have a lower pregnancy rate than women without cervical stenosis.

The risks of treatment for cervical stenosis vary depending on the type of treatment you choose. Dilation is a relatively low-risk procedure, but it can cause some bleeding and cramping. Surgery is a more invasive procedure and carries a higher risk of complications, such as infection, bleeding, and damage to the cervix.
There are a few things you can do to improve your chances of getting pregnant with cervical stenosis, such as: * Timing intercourse during your most fertile days * Using fertility-enhancing medications, such as Clomid or Femara * Undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)
The success rate of treatment for cervical stenosis varies depending on the type of treatment and the severity of the stenosis. Dilation has a success rate of about 80-90%. Surgery has a success rate of about 90-95%.
The long-term prognosis for cervical stenosis is good. Most women who are treated for cervical stenosis are able to get pregnant and have healthy babies. However, there is a small risk of recurrence of cervical stenosis after treatment.
