Can I have children if I have cervical warts?

The joy of being a pregnant mother is something every woman in this world should experience, but to be responsible for the life of her child, the mother must ensure her own health during pregnancy. Some mothers may ask if pregnant women with cervical condyloma can still give birth? For those who do not want to terminate the pregnancy and insist on having children, their condition should be closely observed and the following treatment principles should be noted:

1. Keep the vulva clean and dry. Patients should wash the vulva frequently, keep it clean and hygienic, and keep the area dry.

2. Pay attention to rest and strengthen nutrition. Patients should pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, strengthen nutrition, and improve the body's immunity to improve disease resistance.

3. Improve blood circulation in the lower limbs. The patient should lie flat and raise the lower limbs to improve blood circulation in the lower limbs and reduce edema in the vulva.

4. Choose a treatment that has no effect on pregnant women and fetuses

In terms of treatment, try to choose therapies that have no effect on pregnant women and fetuses.

5. Prevent miscarriage or premature birth

For those with cervical warts in the vagina or cervix, it is necessary to avoid repeated use of a vaginal dilator to avoid miscarriage or premature birth.

6. Avoid vaginal delivery

Caesarean section should be performed in late pregnancy to avoid vaginal delivery, especially for those with cervical warts on the cervix and vaginal wall, so as to avoid cervical wart infection in the baby. Some scholars also advocate vaginal delivery, believing that cesarean section cannot prevent the transmission of cervical warts from mother to baby.

7 Treatment of postpartum cervical warts

The treatment of cervical warts in pregnant women after childbirth can first be a wait-and-see approach, hoping that the cervical warts will disappear on their own. Clinically, cervical warts in pregnant women can partially disappear on their own after childbirth.

It is difficult to treat cervical warts during pregnancy, and it is even more difficult to treat cervical warts in pregnant women who want to give birth. Because when treating cervical warts, both the pregnant woman and the fetus must be considered, that is, when considering treatment, the safety of the treatment such as drugs or physical therapy should be considered, especially whether the treatment has any effect on the fetus and the pregnant woman.

Some treatments are restricted in pregnant women. For example, chemical drugs such as podophyllotoxin and 5-Fu can be absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes after topical application, which can cause fetal miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth, deformity, etc. Surgical resection, laser, electrocautery and other methods can cause severe bleeding and easily lead to local bacterial infection, such as cellulitis, which is a problem for clinicians and patients.

However, if pregnant women do not treat cervical warts, the damage will continue to develop. Huge lesions may cause ulcers and bleeding, and in severe cases, may cause mechanical obstruction of the soft birth canal. In some cases, severe cases of fetal HPV infection may cause fatal complications of respiratory papilloma. Therefore, the treatment of pregnancy complicated with cervical warts is very complicated.
