Patient's question:
I recently noticed that my leukorrhea has been a bit more than usual, and I've been feeling uncomfortable downstairs. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and I was surprised to find out that I have pelvic inflammatory disease. I was actually planning to have a baby recently, and my family has been urging me a lot, so I want to understand, can I have a child with pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Have pelvic inflammatory disease. Normally, it does not interfere with having a baby, but since you have excessive vaginal discharge and lower abdominal pain, this condition may alleviate symptoms after conception because pregnancy increases the amount of discharge, making it more than usual, which helps relieve symptoms. It is best to treat it first and wait for it to heal before trying to conceive, as this is much better. Because in the first three months of pregnancy, even if there is vaginal inflammation, it cannot be treated, and vaginal medications can easily interfere with the baby. Therefore, it is necessary to wait for the condition to heal before trying to conceive.Facing the challenges of pelvic inflammatory disease, we should actively undergo examinations and treatment without avoiding medical visits. If the pelvic inflammatory disease does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
