Does pelvic inflammatory disease affect the fetus?

Patient's question:

Pregnant for 18 weeks, because I had pelvic inflammatory disease before, now I always feel lower back pain, sometimes I also feel a bit of pain on both sides of the lower abdomen, it should still be a problem with pelvic inflammatory disease. Is this okay?

Doctor's answer:

General pelvic inflammatory disease can reduce fertility, but it generally does not pose a harmful risk to the fetus. However, pregnant women with pelvic inflammatory disease should avoid sexual intercourse (to prevent cross-infection).
