Patient's question:
This past while, I've been experiencing some abdominal pain, and there's also been pain in my vagina. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and it was diagnosed as pelvic inflammatory disease. But now I'm planning to have a child and don't know if this condition will affect my ability to get pregnant.Doctor's answer:
Hello, when inflammation occurs in any part of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or surrounding tissues in the pelvic cavity, including the pelvic peritoneum, it can cause infertility in women. If acute inflammation is not treated thoroughly and transforms into chronicity, or if pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated promptly and persists as chronic, it often leads to female infertility.
