Can I continue my pregnancy if I have pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common disease at present. Most of the cases are caused by frequent abortions, lack of attention to hygiene, and indirect transmission of abdominal organs. Therefore, patients need to cure the disease before getting pregnant. If a patient with pelvic inflammatory disease becomes pregnant unexpectedly, she can consider whether to continue the pregnancy based on the infection status of the disease and whether it will cause dangerous phenomena.

Can I get pregnant with pelvic inflammatory disease?

After a woman is infected with pelvic inflammatory disease, the pelvis will easily become congested due to inflammatory stimulation. The uterus becomes congested and softened, which will cause the uterus to be closer to the rectum, compressing the sacral nerves and causing a feeling of falling, stimulating the rectal mucosa to contract and causing defecation.

If you are still pregnant, the congestion in the pelvis and uterus will be more obvious. If the inflammation spreads to the rectum, it will irritate the rectum and cause diarrhea, which may cause miscarriage of the embryo that has just implanted, which is very dangerous.

If you become pregnant while infected with pelvic inflammatory disease, you must seek treatment under the guidance of a doctor as soon as possible, because the drugs used to treat inflammation may affect the fetus. Treatment after pregnancy still has certain special features. Therefore, during pregnancy, you should consider the possible impact of drugs on the fetus. However, do not blindly have an abortion due to the disease. Abortion may also aggravate pelvic inflammatory disease or lead to more serious conditions such as infertility, bleeding, etc.

In addition, patients with pelvic inflammatory disease should pay attention to dietary adjustment and strengthen nutrition. During the fever period, it is advisable to eat light and easily digestible food. Patients with high fever and loss of body fluid can be given pear juice, apple juice, watermelon juice, etc. to drink, but they should not be drunk after being chilled.

Patients with yellow, heavy and thick leucorrhea have damp-heat syndrome and should avoid fried, greasy and spicy foods. Patients with cold pain in the lower abdomen, fear of cold, and back pain belong to the cold stagnation and qi stagnation type. They can be given warm foods such as ginger soup, brown sugar water, and cinnamon pulp. People who suffer from fever in the five parts of their body and lower back pain mostly suffer from kidney yin deficiency. They can eat meat, eggs and other blood and living things to nourish and strengthen their body.
