Patient's question:
One of my colleagues has cervical inflammation. She had been treated for it before, but it wasn't fully cured. Later, she became pregnant and stopped taking medication. Now she is more than 8 months pregnant. She is afraid of having a cesarean section and plans to have a natural birth, but she is worried that the cervical inflammation might affect the natural birth.Doctor's answer:
She can go to the hospital for a check-up to see the size of the baby. If the baby is not too large, a vaginal birth may be possible. However, if the baby is very large, a vaginal birth can easily cause cervical laceration and may lead to retrograde infection. Therefore, it is crucial to make a careful decision.
