Patient's question:
Can I have an abortion if I have chronic pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, women have low immunity shortly after an abortion. If they have other infections, it is easy for the inflammation to worsen. Therefore, in your case, it is necessary to consider the pregnancy duration, which is the size of the gestational sac. Additionally, the severity of pelvic inflammatory disease should also be taken into account. Only by comprehensively considering these factors can we decide whether to treat pelvic inflammatory disease first or perform an abortion first.Guidance:
Generally, an abortion is recommended within 19 days of a delayed period, as this time the gestational sac is small, resulting in less damage during the procedure. Of course, the timing is an estimate, and the specific size of the gestational sac should be confirmed by ultrasound.
Therefore, in your case, it is not advisable to solely consider whether you can have an abortion due to pelvic inflammatory disease. The surgeon performing the abortion should conduct preoperative examinations and make a decision based on whether to have the abortion first or treat the pelvic inflammatory disease.
Wishing you good health.
