Will pelvic inflammatory disease during pregnancy affect fetal development?

Patient's question:

Pregnant with pelvic inflammatory disease, will it interfere with fetal growth and development? Careful examination of blood routine shows high white blood cells

Doctor's answer:

You simply relying on a blood test showing high white blood cell count cannot confirm the presence of pelvic inflammatory disease. If you have already confirmed pelvic inflammatory disease, it indeed can affect fetal growth and development, and it may be necessary to use safe antibiotics for treatment. In addition to timely treatment, patients with pelvic inflammatory disease also need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest and absorb nutrients.
