Patient's question:
Medical history: Mild cervical inflammation, leukoplakia of the vulvaI am a poor woman with a lot of health problems. What's worse is that I had an abortion at the age of 21. At that time, the doctor said I might not be able to have children in the future. I was too young then, and I forgot what the doctor said about the reason I couldn't have children.
Now I am two months pregnant and don't know if I should keep the baby.
If I go to the hospital for a check-up, what tests should I have? Thank you.
Also, I have mild cervical inflammation and always have lower back pain when I sleep. Should I be treated during pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to appropriate physical exercise while also focusing on nutrition and correct sleeping posture, such as sleeping on your left side. You can lie flat on your bed and have your family gently massage the painful muscles. Muscle tension leads to the accumulation of lactic acid locally, which causes pain. You can use a towel for a warm compress. Simply applying heat and gentle massage can promote blood circulation within the muscles, enhance muscle nutrition, and alleviate pain.
