Patient's question:
For the doctor treating pelvic inflammatory disease, I was told to wait until after giving birth before coming back if I want to get pregnant. For cervical erosion, physical treatment is needed to heal it, as medication doesn't fully cure it. I have some pelvic inflammatory disease and cervical erosion, and medication has improved them somewhat. If I want to have children, I shouldn't take medication (doctor's advice), as it's said there's no interference and I can get pregnant and give birth. However, the antenatal care doctor at the same hospital said that if I have pelvic inflammatory disease, I must treat it first before getting pregnant (same hospital). Otherwise, I might feel uncomfortable during pregnancy. She didn't specify what discomforts there would be, how they would manifest, or what other issues might arise. I was surprised that the doctors have different opinions. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
If a woman suffers from pelvic inflammatory disease, due to the inflammatory impact, the patient may experience pelvic congestion again, making the uterus soften, and subsequently leading to a sensation of heaviness. The impact on the rectal mucosa may cause contraction, resulting in defecation. In this case, the woman may experience significant pelvic and uterine congestion. If the inflammation spreads to the rectum, it may trigger nausea and vomiting. In severe cases, it may even lead to miscarriage in women. Generally speaking, it is possible to preserve the child during the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease, but the choice depends on the medications used and the careful observation results during pregnancy.
