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.

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.

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)
