Patient's question:

3. If pregnancy is discovered during the treatment of cervical inflammation, can the child be kept? Do the medications used to treat cervical inflammation have any effect on the embryo?
Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is a very common gynecological inflammation, affecting many women who are sexually active. It is a disease that women often overlook due to its strong concealment, making it difficult to detect. Many women become very worried about cervical cancer after discovering they have cervicitis. Experts say that early cervical cancer cannot be distinguished from cervicitis with the naked eye. The main symptoms of cervicitis include increased vaginal discharge, which is mucous-like or mixed with blood streaks, post-coital bleeding, external genital itching, and lower back pain, which worsens during menstruation.Early cervical cancer often shows no obvious symptoms, with occasional contact bleeding after sexual intercourse or gynecological examinations, showing no significant difference from chronic cervicitis. The incidence of chronic cervicitis is high, affecting more than half of married women, and it is closely related to the occurrence of cervical cancer. If cervicitis is left untreated for a long time or treated incompletely, it may progress to cervical cancer. Chronic inflammation of cervicitis can create an intrinsic foundation for carcinogenesis, facilitating the invasion of carcinogenic factors and leading to the transformation of cervical epithelial cells into cervical cancer.
Generally, doctors will be more vigilant if the cervix appears hard, fragile, and prone to bleeding during examination. They may further perform a TCT test to detect cancer cells and, if necessary, conduct a cervical biopsy or even a biopsy under colposcopy to rule out the possibility of cancer.
