Having inflammation but already pregnant?

Most women need to have a prenatal check-up before they become pregnant, but sometimes they find out they are pregnant before they have time to do the check-up. Some women find out that they have inflammation after they become pregnant. In this case, it is generally best to observe first. If it is in the early stages of pregnancy, it is best not to treat it. Pay attention to your hygiene and wash your underwear frequently. You can go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up three months after the pregnancy and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.

Gynecological inflammation that affects women’s pregnancy:

1. Vaginitis: The pathogens that cause female vaginitis mainly include gonococci, mycoplasma, chlamydia, Trichomonas, fungi, etc. These pathogens can directly devour sperm, which will cause the sperm and egg to be unable to combine and lead to infertility.

2. Cervicitis: Married women or women who have had sexual intercourse are most likely to suffer from cervicitis, which is mainly manifested by cervical congestion and edema. In severe cases, it can also lead to cervical erosion. Changes in vaginal secretions, urinary urgency, frequent urination, lower abdominal pain, etc. are all symptoms of cervicitis.

3. Adnexitis: Also known as salpingo-oophoritis, adnexitis can endanger the fallopian tubes and, in severe cases, can lead to oophoritis. Chronic adnexitis is very common. It often starts with an acute inflammatory process and then turns into a chronic one. Sometimes the acute inflammatory process is not obvious and turns into a chronic one once discovered. If chronic adnexitis is not effectively treated, it can easily lead to female infertility.

The hazards of gynecological inflammation:

Hazard 1: Gynecological inflammation will affect the patient herself, especially pregnant women. It will also lead to complications such as intrauterine infection and birth canal infection, and will eventually affect the baby, leading to serious consequences such as premature birth, congenital malformations, and neonatal mental retardation.

Hazard 2: If gynecological inflammation is not treated promptly and effectively, it may not only cause various effects of the inflammatory disease on parts of the body, but also cause various adverse complications. In severe cases, it may lead to malignant changes in certain reproductive parts. For example, cervical cancer.

Hazard three: The early symptoms of gynecological inflammation are not obvious. In addition, women feel that they have gynecological diseases and are ashamed to seek treatment. If this continues, the body will be harmed by long-term inflammation, which will have adverse effects on women’s immune function, metabolism and endocrine system, and cause great harm to health.

Hazard 4: Gynecological inflammation If a woman has sexual relations with a man, the bacteria may be transmitted to the man, causing infection and inflammation of the male reproductive organs.

Therefore, it is best not to have sex if you have gynecological inflammation, not only for your own sake, but also for the man's sake.
