Cervical stenosis is narrowing or closing of the passageway through the cervix (the lower part of the uterus). Cervical stenosis often causes no symptoms. Cervical stenosis may cause menstrual abnormalities or, rarely in premenopausal women, infertility.
In premenopausal women, cervical stenosis may present with symptoms like abnormal menstrual bleeding, increased menstrual pain, or infertility due to the obstruction of the cervical canal. For postmenopausal women, symptoms can include unusual discharge if fluid becomes trapped behind the blockage. Sources.
Cervical stenosis is a narrowing or occlusion (stricture) of the internal cervical os. It is typically asymptomatic but may cause dysmenorrhea or, rarely, infertility. Diagnosis is with pelvic examination.
Cervical stenosis is more likely to occur among menopausal and nulliparous women in which case it is difficult to prevent. Instead, different strategies have been proposed to prevent the recurrence of cervical adhesions after surgery, such as conization of the cervix.
Explore what cervical stenosis is, its symptoms, impact on fertility, causes, and treatment options to manage this gynaecological condition.
Cervical stenosis is a rare condition in which your cervix — the opening at the end of your uterus that leads to your vagina — contracts or is blocked. In its early stages, cervical stenosis may not cause noticeable symptoms. However, if not treated, it can have profound impacts on menstruation and fertility.
This study demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of regular cervical dilatation after LEEP as a means of preventing cervical stenosis in postmenopausal women who have undergone LEEP.
