Will endometritis not healing affect the fetus?

Patient's question:

I didn't expect to get pregnant while my endometritis had not yet healed on its own. Actually, I was a bit worried because an untreated endometritis might adversely affect the child. Moreover, I felt that prolonged use of certain antibiotics would surely take a toll on my health. So, I wanted to ask if unhealed endometritis would interfere with the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

If there is endometritis, it generally does not interfere with the fetus. However, if you use many antibiotics during treatment, it is generally considered to have an impact. You can have a detailed 4D ultrasound examination between weeks 22 and 26 to rule out fetal malformations. Between weeks 14 and 20, go to the hospital for the Down syndrome screening to check the normal development of the fetus's intelligence and growth. Wish you good health.
