Patient's question:
In 1997, when I gave birth to my child, due to the baby being too large, I didn't go to the hospital, and the midwife caused an episiotomy without debridement, which later led to cervical inflammation. Based on the laser technology at that time, I had a laser surgery at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital. The following year, I had an IUD inserted. In recent years, I have been experiencing gynecological issues. After removing the IUD in 2008, I didn't have any gynecological problems, but I had undergone some induced abortions. Here is the history and effectiveness of past treatments:In 2007, I had moderate cervical inflammation after giving birth, and I had a laser surgery based on the laser technology at that time. In 2003, I had had adnexitis and cystitis. In 2008, I had mild cervical inflammation, and after that, I didn't have any gynecological problems.
Before giving birth to my first child, I had two induced abortions. After 2008, I had two medical abortions and two induced abortions.
What kind of help I am seeking: I am currently in the late stages of pregnancy. I would like to consult with you, dear experts. If the fetus is in good condition, can I have a natural birth in my situation? Will the laser surgery from years ago affect it?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, because the cervix has been treated with laser, it may affect the elasticity of the cervix, which may prevent a normal delivery.Suggestions: According to the possibility, you may need a cesarean section. After laser treatment, it's not that there may be scars on the cervix, but rather that poor cervical elasticity can affect a normal delivery. To verify this, during the late stage of pregnancy, the doctor will allow you to undergo a series of detailed examinations. I hope this can help you.
For patients with cervical inflammation, the main treatment is symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications and supplement with vitamins. Additionally, it's important to maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and hope that patients with cervical inflammation can recover as soon as possible!
