Abnormal contractions of the uterus between menses invariably influence the success of pregnancy and should be treated to prevent undue prenatal complications. Besides the endometrium the condition of the cervix plays an important role and possible erosion of the cervix and the presence of Papilloma Virus would be referred to the gynaecologist.
