Patient's question:
Last year, due to constantly feeling abdominal pain and a heavy sensation, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. I have been undergoing treatment ever since. This year, my husband and I both want to prepare to have a child, but after several months of trying to conceive, there has been no response. Could it be due to my pelvic inflammatory disease? Hello, does pelvic inflammatory disease affect the ability to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
How many months have you been trying to conceive without success? It is likely that infertility is caused by blocked fallopian tubes, as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can easily lead to adhesions in the pelvic tissues, resulting in blocked fallopian tubes. It is recommended that you do not have sexual intercourse during the 3 to 7 days after your menstrual period ends and have a fallopian tube angiography examination at the hospital to understand how the fallopian tubes are. If the fallopian tubes are, then have an ovulation monitoring examination to understand how mature follicles are released.
