Can you get pregnant if you have cervicitis? Some common sense that women with cervicitis must know

The female vagina is an external organ, which is very susceptible to bacterial invasion, leading to gynecological diseases. Therefore, women should always pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of their private parts to avoid related diseases. When women suffer from gynecological diseases, if they are not treated in time, they often face the phenomenon of private itching and vaginal pain, which may even affect pregnancy in severe cases. So for patients with cervicitis, is it still possible to get pregnant?

Will cervicitis affect pregnancy?

It will affect pregnancy. When the cervix is ​​inflamed, a large number of pus cells can swallow sperm, reduce sperm motility, and shorten sperm life. Even if the mirror survives by chance, it is not easy to pass through the cervix into the uterine cavity smoothly, thus reducing the pregnancy rate. Patients should pay special attention to cleanliness in their lives. Unclean sex can easily bring in various pathogens, which in turn cause the occurrence of diseases, and in severe cases may also lead to the occurrence of cervical cancer. If it is mild cervicitis, it does not need to be treated temporarily, and you can get pregnant; if it is severe cervicitis, it is not recommended to get pregnant immediately, because severe cervicitis not only has a relatively low pregnancy rate, but also may cause certain harm to the fetus and pregnant women, such as: prenatal hemorrhage, so it is recommended to treat cervicitis before getting pregnant. Suffering from cervicitis affects women's pregnancy. When cervicitis occurs, it must be treated in time; regular gynecological examinations (once a year); avoid childbirth or damage to the cervix with instruments; postpartum cervical lacerations should be sutured in time. During the life of the couple, attention should be paid to taking contraceptive measures to avoid premature, excessive, and frequent pregnancy and childbirth, which will cause damage to the cervix, thereby providing opportunities for bacterial invasion. Cervicitis is a common disease among women of childbearing age. It can be divided into acute and chronic types, with chronic types being more common. Cervicitis is often transformed from acute cervicitis. Cervical lacerations or eversions caused by childbirth, miscarriage, or surgery make women more susceptible to infection due to weak resistance. Patients with cervicitis should still use some clinical professional drug treatments. Among the current drugs in this area, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine will not form drug resistance, has better treatment effects, and is significantly effective in treating the symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease.

Will cervical erosion affect pregnancy?

"Cervical erosion" is a manifestation of cervical pathology and physiology. Pathological "erosion" includes cervical cancer, cervical cancer, prelesions (CIN2, CIN3 often seen in pathology diagnosis books), acute/chronic cervicitis; physiological "erosion" includes increased hormone levels (postmenopausal women will no longer experience "cervical erosion") and the migration of columnar epithelial cells when the acidity and alkalinity of the vagina change. The above two situations will appear as "cervical erosion" on the surface of the cervix. The concept of "cervical erosion" is abolished. We must clearly know whether there are real lesions in the cervix, and we cannot regard normal physiological changes as diseases that affect our physical and mental health. If we want to have a healthy baby, as a mother, the question we should ask is not "Does cervical erosion affect pregnancy?" but "Does my cervix have precancerous lesions?" If there are no lesions, we can enter the pre-pregnancy preparation state. The diagnosis of cervical disease has a very standardized diagnostic process, namely the three-stage diagnostic process of cervical disease: the first step: cervical cytology and cervical high-risk HPV examination; the second step: colposcopy; the third step: histopathological diagnosis. Before pregnancy, a routine cervical first-step examination (cervical cells and cervical high-risk HPV) should be performed. If both results are normal, there is no need to enter the second and third steps. In other words, as long as cervical cancer and cervical precancerous lesions are ruled out, whether there is so-called "cervical erosion" will not affect pregnancy. If there is a problem with the results of the first step (cervical cytology and cervical high-risk HPV examination), we need to go through the second step (colposcopy) and, if necessary, the third step (taking cervical tissue for pathological diagnosis) to make the final diagnosis. If the final diagnosis is chronic cervicitis (manifested as the so-called "cervical erosion"), it will not affect pregnancy and does not require treatment. When the final diagnosis is cervical cancer or cervical precancerous lesions, regardless of whether the cervical surface is smooth or the so-called "cervical erosion", pregnancy should be considered after treatment. Most treatment options for cervical cancer will choose to remove the uterus, so there will be no chance of getting pregnant again; however, treatment of precancerous lesions will not affect pregnancy and the choice of delivery method (vaginal delivery, cesarean section), so we must actively cooperate with doctors to treat precancerous lesions as soon as possible, and happily start preparing for pregnancy again.

Finally, we hope that every female friend, whether before or after becoming a mother, will insist on having a cervical examination once a year to keep cervical cancer and precancerous lesions away from us at all times.
