Can I still get pregnant if I have uterine cancer?

Uterine cancer is the second most common malignant disease that threatens women's lives. Many women suffer from cancer and at the same time feel very sorry for not having children. So can women with uterine cancer get pregnant? Here, the hospital's gynecology experts have given a detailed answer to this question.

First: After a uterine cancer patient becomes pregnant, the cancer cells may spread and aggravate the condition.

After a woman becomes pregnant, her uterus will become congested and her resistance will decrease. During pregnancy, she also needs to supplement nutrition to promote fetal growth and development. These conditions may stimulate the rapid growth of cancer cells, and the presence of progesterone will also stimulate the growth of uterine cancer and hinder treatment.

Secondly: It is very difficult for patients with uterine cancer to get pregnant

The cervix is ​​the only way for sperm to reach the uterine cavity. The presence of tumors and cancer cells in patients with uterine cancer will seriously damage the environmental structure of the cervix and uterine cavity. The blood and pus produced by a large amount of lesions will hinder the sperm from reaching the uterine cavity. Even if the sperm can swim to the uterine cavity by chance, the diseased intracavitary environment will make it difficult for the fertilized egg to implant and develop into a fetus.

Finally: Even if uterine cancer patients can become pregnant, miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth, etc. may occur

Because the intrauterine environment of uterine cancer patients is poor, the gestational sac has difficulty growing and developing after implantation, and is prone to miscarriage or embryo arrest. Even if it can grow, uterine cancer patients cannot give birth naturally and need premature birth and caesarean section, which poses a great threat to the health of the fetus and the mother.
