Can I still get pregnant if I have pelvic inflammatory disease?

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a relatively common gynecological disease, which often causes a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen, low back pain, menstrual disorders, increased vaginal discharge, etc. In severe cases, it can affect female conception and cause infertility. It is also easy to induce other gynecological diseases. Therefore, for patients with pelvic inflammatory disease, they must receive good treatment in a timely manner to avoid greater harm to their health.

Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to an inflammation of the female pelvic reproductive organs, connective tissue around the uterus, and pelvic peritoneum caused by retrograde bacterial infection that reaches the pelvic cavity through the uterus and fallopian tubes.

Clinically, common causes of pelvic inflammatory disease include postpartum infection, uterine cavity and other related or even organ surgery, inflammatory infection of adjacent reproductive organs, and poor menstrual hygiene in women, all of which may cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is divided into acute and chronic types. For acute pelvic inflammatory disease, because it develops rapidly and is easy to detect, timely treatment is the key, and in most cases the condition can be cured or improved. The symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are generally not obvious and are easily ignored, which often causes the disease to be delayed. Studies have shown that some cases of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease are caused by the delay of the acute pelvic inflammatory disease due to the incomplete cure or the patient's poor physical condition.

Pelvic inflammatory disease may affect normal pregnancy

Pelvic inflammatory disease, especially chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, is often manifested by abdominal distension, lumbar pain, menstrual disorders, and increased leucorrhea. If pelvic inflammatory disease is not treated for a long time or the condition is severe, it may cause inflammation of the fallopian tubes and adhesion blockage, which may lead to female infertility.

Clinically, pelvic inflammatory disease may cause female infertility. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease should be given timely treatment when it is not too late. Without delaying the treatment of the disease, most patients can be effectively cured and it will not affect pregnancy. But for chronic pelvic inflammation, the most important thing is to sensitively capture its signals, take timely precautions and warnings, and avoid worsening of the disease and causing infertility.
