Does raising a cat lead to gynecological diseases?

Patient's question:

My mom has a cat, which has been accompanying me for many years. She has no other bad habits and is in good health. She has also never had premarital sex. Does a cat cause gynecological diseases in women?

Doctor's answer:

If you are currently trying to conceive, it is best not to come into contact with small animals or keep pets. Toxoplasmosis is a parasite that lives on animals and is the cause of toxoplasmosis infection. If you get infected with toxoplasmosis during early pregnancy, it can lead to early miscarriage and is not conducive to healthy fetal development. During pre-pregnancy and early pregnancy, it is best to have small animals stay with other families. Pay close attention to personal hygiene and dietary habits in daily life, and there will be no problem. You need to learn to manage this stress and ensure adequate sleep, as well as engage in appropriate exercise.
