What is Cervical Mucus?
Cervical Mucus is a fluid produced by and released from the cervix (the opening to the uterus). Hormones cause your cervical mucus to change in texture, volume and color throughout your menstrual cycle.
What is the role of Cervical Mucus?
Cervical Mucus has two jobs depending on where you are in your cycle.
The first is to help sperm move through the cervix so it can fertilize an egg during ovulation.
The second job is to prevent sperm or other substances from getting into the cervix.
What is cervical mucus hostility?
Cervical mucus hostility can refer to any number of problems with cervical fluids. Some of the more common issues with cervical mucus include:
Acidic Mucus, which creates an environment hostile to sperm
Anti-sperm Antibodies, defensive proteins produced by the immune system in response to a past infection which can attack and kill sperm
Inflammatory cells in the vagina or cervix, which can actively target and kill sperm
Thick, dry or sticky mucus, which interferes with sperm motility
Which types of drugs cause cervical mucus hostility?
Clomiphene citrate is a drug used for ovulation induction in infertile women’s high doses of Clomiphene citrate causes the cervical mucus to become dry and thick, making it more difficult for sperms to penetrate the cervix and reach the egg which hinders the conception.
Others drugs may include:
• Antihistamines or allergy medications
• Atropine
• Cold and sinus medications, especially if they include a cough suppressant or antihistamine
• Propantheline
• Some antidepressants and epilepsy drugs
• Some sleep aids
