Cervical factor infertility occurs when abnormalities in the cervix prevent sperm from reaching or fertilizing the egg. The cervix plays a vital role in reproduction by producing cervical mucus that supports sperm movement. Problems such as thick or scarce mucus, cervical infections, scarring after surgery, or congenital abnormalities can disrupt this process and lead to infertility.

Common causes include chronic cervicitis, previous cervical surgeries, hormonal imbalances, or exposure to harmful substances. Women may experience difficulty conceiving despite normal ovulation and healthy fallopian tubes. Diagnosis involves physical examination, postcoital tests, and imaging studies to assess cervical function and mucus quality.

Treatment depends on the underlying cause. Mild cases may benefit from fertility-enhancing medications or mucus-thinning agents. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is often recommended to bypass cervical barriers, while severe cases may require assisted reproductive techniques like IVF. Timely medical evaluation can significantly improve conception outcomes and help women achieve successful pregnancies.
