One of the most frequent problems with fertility that women experience is a hostile uterus. “Hostile uterus” is a term used to characterize cervical mucus that is either inadequate or of low quality for sperm migration. Although the two terms are frequently used interchangeably, unfriendly cervical mucus is very precisely connected to the mucus the uterine glands generate. Cervical fluid, also known as cervical mucus, aids in the sperm’s journey to the fallopian tubes to fertilize an egg. The texture, thickness, and consistency of cervical mucus fluctuate throughout the woman’s cycle. The mucus normally turns thin and watery as a woman approaches ovulation, which is best suited for the movement of sperm. However, in 20 per cent of women, the cervical mucus could even thicken, which the sperm cannot penetrate because of its thickness.
