Patient's question:
Doctor, I want to have a baby next year. Could you please tell me what tests I need to undergo to thoroughly check the condition of my uterus?Could you provide detailed information on the symptoms and causes of cervical inflammation and pelvic inflammation?
If I have these conditions, can I still have a child?
I appreciate a detailed response. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, cervical inflammation. The main symptom is an increase in leukorrhea, which is usually viscous or purulent mucus, sometimes with blood or hematuria during intercourse. Secondary symptoms include vulvar itching, lower abdominal or lumbosacral pain, which worsens during intercourse, menstruation, and defecation.Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an inflammation of the female internal reproductive organs and surrounding connective tissues, as well as the pelvic peritoneum. The inflammation can be localized to one area or affect multiple areas simultaneously. It is classified as either acute or chronic. Acute PID is primarily caused by pathogens, and its clinical manifestations vary depending on the severity and extent of the inflammation. Patients often experience high fever, chills, loss of appetite, and lower abdominal pain, and may also have digestive or urinary system symptoms. Chronic PID is often the result of inadequately treated acute PID, due to poor patient health and prolonged duration. It may also occur without a typical history of acute inflammation, with acute exacerbations when the body's resistance is weakened. Patients typically have mild systemic symptoms, such as low-grade fever, lower abdominal pain, and back pain. Other symptoms may include increased menstrual flow and leukorrhea. If ovarian function is impaired, menstrual disorders may occur. If fallopian tube adhesion or obstruction occurs, infertility may result.
If symptoms are present, treatment should generally be administered before considering pregnancy.
