Patient's question:
I have had this chronic pelvic inflammatory disease ever since I had an abortion two years ago. It has started, but I haven't had any significant symptoms, just a bit more discharge. Later, I often feel aching and pain in my lower back. Now, we really want to get pregnant. Can women with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease often manifests as bilateral tubal inflammation. Over time, the openings of the fallopian tubes, especially the part where the egg is received (known as the fimbriae), may partially or completely become sealed. It can also cause the inner lining of the fallopian tubes to adhere due to inflammation, narrowing the tube lumen or causing it to become sealed. This disrupts the passage of eggs, sperm, or fertilized eggs, leading to infertility. It is important to ensure adequate rest.Facing the harm of pelvic inflammatory disease, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If pelvic inflammatory disease does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
