Does pelvic inflammatory disease affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I am 21 years old this year. These days, when I wash my underwear, I always find a lot of curd-like secretions on them, and they smell very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable. Please ask: Can pelvic inflammatory disease affect pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Alright, let's follow the treatment plan from the follow-up doctor. During the treatment, continue breastfeeding. Don't worry too much, as most people can get pregnant. It's usually not severe. I suggest you get the pelvic inflammatory disease treated first, and then do a fallopian tube hysterosalpingogram (HSG) 3 to 7 days after your next menstrual period ends. Your partner should have a semen analysis. Before the imaging tests, the couple shouldn't have sex. First, get a vaginal discharge test done. If there are no problems, you can then proceed with these tests.
