Does having gynecological diseases affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Six months ago, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with cervical erosion. Later, after taking some medication, it improved, so I haven't been back for further checks. Recently, I'm planning to have a child, but my period hasn't come for several days, and I suspect I might be pregnant. However, lately, my external genital area has been itchy, and I suspect it might be a gynecological condition. If I am confirmed to be pregnant, what should I do? Will it affect the child?

Doctor's answer:

Mild vaginitis and cervicitis generally do not affect fetal development. Due to the possibility of inflammation worsening during pregnancy, it is best to have a medical check-up. If the condition is severe, symptomatic treatment can be administered.
Advice: Hello, the type and severity of the disease need to be considered. Follow medical advice during pregnancy and avoid using medication blindly.
