Patient's question:
Pregnant, went to the hospital and was diagnosed with cervical inflammation, and there was bacteria. The doctor said I needed to be given fluids first to treat the bacteria before having an abortion. Is that right? Does the inflammation affect having an abortion? Does it affect future pregnancies?Doctor's answer:
Generally, during the acute phase of cervical inflammation, it is not advisable to perform induced abortion. Usually, the inflammation or other symptoms in the body must be controlled before the procedure can be carried out. However, if the cervical inflammation is mild, it can be treated with anti-inflammatory and symptomatic therapy after the induced abortion. If the cervical inflammation is severe, it is recommended to wait for two to three days after anti-inflammatory treatment to control the inflammation before proceeding with the surgery. Consider taking oral Chinese medicine such as Gynecological Qianjin Tablets (capsules), which can effectively treat cervical inflammation-induced abnormal vaginal discharge, foul-smelling secretions, or abdominal discomfort symptoms.
