Does Cervical Polyps Block Sperm And Cause Infertility?
Dear doctor, i m 38 yrs old, married for 2 years treating for primary infertility. i went for HSG where she could not carry out the procedure, an ultra sound was done then cervical polyps were found, one of them is on the cervix blocking the dye to be injected. Can this polyp block the sperm and be the cause of this infertility?

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic .
Yes cervical polyp is likely to block sperm ascend into the uterus. As dye couldn't pass means no liquids can pass and also sperms .
This is likely to be cause of infertility. The treatment is removal of the polyp and try naturally.
Polyp must be removed if you plan to go for higher treatment also.
Hope I have been helpful .
Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
