Can I prepare for pregnancy if I have pelvic inflammatory disease?

Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease generally cannot plan to become pregnant.

Pelvic inflammatory disease is a group of diseases caused by infection of the female upper reproductive tract, including endometritis, salpingitis, pelvic peritonitis and other diseases. It is usually caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis. Patients generally experience symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, and abnormal vaginal bleeding.

If a pregnant woman suffers from pelvic inflammation, it may cause uterine adhesions or fallopian tube adhesions. If not treated in time, it may lead to ectopic pregnancy. Because of the stimulation of inflammatory substances, it may affect the development of the fetus, and in severe cases it may cause miscarriage, premature birth, and may also cause fetal malformations. Therefore, women with pelvic inflammation are usually not suitable for preparing for pregnancy.

Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease can use drugs such as ceftriaxone sodium, azithromycin injection, and lincomycin hydrochloride injection under the guidance of a doctor, which can play an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial role. In order to avoid the fetus being affected by the drugs, it is generally recommended to prepare for pregnancy three months after recovery.
