Does cervicitis affect the fetus?

Cervicitis is a relatively common gynecological disease, which is very harmful to women's health, especially after pregnancy. It can easily lead to worsening cervicitis and cause cervical erosion, which also has a great impact on the health of the fetus. It can easily lead to prenatal bleeding and endanger the health and safety of the fetus. Therefore, for women with cervicitis, it is best to undergo thorough treatment before getting pregnant.

Due to the large increase in estrogen levels in pregnant women, cervical erosion will become more serious and may even cause very difficult to treat prenatal bleeding, which will endanger the safety of the expectant mother and the fetus in her womb. Therefore, once cervical erosion is discovered, it should be treated promptly and thoroughly.

Chronic cervicitis does not have much impact on the development of the embryo after pregnancy. If the inflammation during pregnancy is not severe, that is, there are no obvious symptoms, not much vaginal discharge, and no feeling of lower back pain or heaviness, you can temporarily not treat it and wait until after delivery to start treatment. If the inflammation is severe, such as grade III cervical erosion, accompanied by increased leucorrhea and odor, treatment is required.

But it is best to choose drug treatment instead of electrocautery, freezing, laser and other methods. Because this will cause scarring of the cervix, making it very hard, making it difficult to dilate during delivery, or easily causing cervical lacerations.

Therefore, it is recommended that you must seek treatment once you suffer from cervicitis. You can choose Chengdu Victoria Women's Hospital for physical therapy and surgical treatment. Physical therapy is the most commonly used in clinical practice. For example, electric ironing, laser, freezing, infrared coagulation and microwave therapy. Recently, a minimally invasive technology of radiofrequency thermal coagulation has been used in clinical practice, and the therapeutic effect is very good.

The basic principle of various treatments is to destroy the single-layer columnar epithelium on the cervical erosion surface, causing it to necrotize and fall off, and then be covered by new stratified squamous epithelium, thereby restoring the normal function of the cervix.
