Patient's question:
Two years ago, I had an induced abortion. Later, after a thorough examination, it was said that I had chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. In recent months, I have been experiencing severe menstrual pain, with very dark red discharge. A detailed examination revealed that I already have pelvic adhesions. So, I haven't been able to get pregnant in these two years. Can I still get pregnant with pelvic adhesions? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The consideration is that chronic pelvic inflammatory disease may cause pelvic adhesions, which could lead to changes in pelvic structure and affect the function of oviductal pick-up and fertilized egg loading/unloading, making it one of the important causes of infertility. It is necessary to speculate the degree, type, and toughness of the adhesions. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a systematic gynecological examination. After the detailed examination results are available and the cause is identified, active symptomatic treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a clinical diagnosis doctor. It is important to alleviate the patient's concerns, boost their confidence in treatment, enhance nutrition, exercise regularly, pay attention to a balance between rest and activity, and reduce the body's resistance. In daily life, it is essential to pay attention to personal menstrual hygiene, sexual hygiene, and proper diet. Avoid extremely cold and harmful foods, and take care to prevent colds. For patients with severe gynecological conditions, it is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
