Patient's question:
I didn't have children during my career peak, and now that I'm getting older, I've started to think about having a child. However, a year ago, I developed chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. I took medication for a long time, but it didn't seem to be working. Can I get pregnant with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Having pelvic inflammatory disease may affect the ability to conceive. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease that does not heal may lead to symptoms such as persistent abdominal and lower back pain, excessive menstrual bleeding, and more. In severe cases, it can reduce the chances of conception. Therefore, it is recommended to seek timely treatment before trying to conceive. Generally, antibiotics can be taken to alleviate symptoms, or you can visit a hospital for traditional Chinese medicine enemas or herbal treatments.Pelvic inflammatory disease patients can use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment while undergoing professional medical care. In daily life, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and avoid foods.
