Patient's question:
Recently, I got pregnant, but recently I went to the hospital for a thorough physical examination and was diagnosed with cervical inflammation. I'm very worried about it. What do you think? Does cervical inflammation during pregnancy affect the baby? What should I do now? Is there any good way?Doctor's answer:
First, you need to distinguish between true and false cervical erosion. During early pregnancy, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in a pregnant woman's body change, causing the squamocolumnar junction of the cervix to regress, which may lead to the reappearance of erosions on the cervix surface. This is referred to as pseudo-erosion. This type of erosion can usually fade away after childbirth and generally does not require treatment. If a thorough examination confirms cervical erosion, there is no need to be overly anxious or tense. Currently, there is no research evidence to suggest that cervical erosion during pregnancy is related to fetal malformations. However, if cervical erosion is not properly managed at this time, it may lead to pathological early pregnancy conditions such as premature rupture of membranes or preterm labor. Therefore, if a pregnant woman is diagnosed with cervical erosion during pregnancy, she should completely eliminate her concerns and actively cooperate with treatment. Local medication on the cervix can be used.
