Patient's question:
If endometriosis occurs during pregnancy, will a miscarriage affect future fertility? My sister had a cesarean section when giving birth to her first child. Now her baby is over three weeks old, and there are cysts at the surgical wound site. After being diagnosed with endometriosis, she took traditional Chinese medicine for about four and a half months (I’m not quite sure what the specific medicine was) and then conceived her second child. Now she is over three months pregnant, but the cyst area still causes pain. Light pressure makes the pain worse. What kind of help do you need: I want to understand if this condition can affect the fetus? Will it lead to a miscarriage? If there is a miscarriage, will it affect future fertility?Doctor's answer:
As you mentioned this situation, generally there is no need to worry too much, as long as you actively treat it, the impact will not be too significant.Recommendation: Currently, this condition is often related to the influence of hormones or other factors. Therefore, it will not affect two pregnancies after eliminating these factors or after active treatment and full recovery. Rest assured!
For patients with gynecological diseases, daily treatment is mainly symptomatic. Patients can take oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope gynecological disease patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
