Can I still get pregnant if I have cervical cancer? How to treat cervical cancer in pregnant women?

Women will suffer from gynecological diseases such as cervical cancer more or less in their lives. For cervical cancer, many women know more about a disease, which is a malignant disease. What should you do if you have cervical cancer at the same time? Next, let's take a look at this issue.

Can I get pregnant with early cervical cancer?

Doctors generally do not recommend pregnancy and childbirth for patients with cervical cancer. First, the chance of pregnancy is very small; second, if childbirth occurs unwillingly, it will have a great impact on the fetus and the mother.

Experts point out that if a patient with cervical cancer successfully becomes pregnant, the fetus cannot fully develop in the cavity due to the poor intrauterine environment, and the fetus cannot be delivered naturally through the vagina due to cervical cancer, which means that premature birth and cesarean section must be performed before the fetus is fully developed and mature, which is very dangerous to the fetus and the patient.

In addition, experts believe that fetal hypoplasia is mainly manifested in incomplete lung function, and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome may occur, which can easily lead to respiratory failure and death.

At the same time, underdeveloped babies with low weight, weak constitution and low resistance will also bring great challenges to postpartum feeding. Chemotherapy for malignant tumors during pregnancy will also have some drug effects on the fetus.

Precautions for pregnant women with cervical cancer

1. Precautions during pregnancy: Pay attention to changes and remove if necessary.

2. Precautions for delivery: Rest after the resection. If you do a cone resection, the cervical canal will become a little shorter, so be careful to prevent premature birth or miscarriage. Do not do strenuous exercise and rest in bed.

3. Postpartum precautions: Check up one month after delivery, and then have regular health checks.

Treatment of cervical cancer in pregnant women

In fact, the treatment of postpartum cervical cancer patients mainly adopts commonly used treatment methods, and surgery is mainly used for patients with early cervical cancer. The ovaries of young patients can remain normal. For young patients who need to preserve fertility, cervical cone resection or radical cervical resection is feasible in the early stage. Different surgical methods are selected according to the different stages of the patient.

However, some women do not find the disease during delivery, which leads to worsening of the condition, so they have to be treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. However, due to the weakness of postpartum women, we recommend that patients should use Chinese medicine for treatment. TCM treatment of cervical cancer adopts the principle of strengthening the body and eliminating evil. TCM believes that cervical cancer belongs to the category of leucorrhea, leakage and symptoms. Due to the imbalance of qi and blood in the viscera, dampness and toxins invade the body, accumulate in the lower part, damage the Chong and Ren meridians, and cause this disease. TCM takes syndrome differentiation as the principle and prescribes the treatment of cervical cancer according to the properties of Chinese medicine.

The treatment of cervical cancer in pregnant women should be determined according to the stage of cervical cancer lesions, the month of pregnancy, and the expectations of the pregnant woman for the fetus. If pregnant women with early cervical cancer need to give birth, they can continue their pregnancy under close observation and wait for postpartum treatment. If the lesion is in the late stage, the pregnancy should be terminated as soon as possible and given appropriate treatment, and the treatment method is the same as that in the non-pregnant period. Some patients with invasive cervical cancer who are eager for children can continue their pregnancy under strict observation until the fetus can survive. You can rest assured that cervical cancer has no teratogenic effect on the fetus.
