Precancerous lesions of the cervix detected during pregnancy

I believe that for every female friend, nurturing a healthy baby is a very happy period, but sometimes life is not smooth sailing. When we enjoy the joy brought by the baby, we will find many unacceptable phenomena. For example, some pregnant women are diagnosed with cervical precancerous lesions during pregnancy. This is a heavy blow to both the pregnant woman herself and her family. So what should pregnant women do if they suffer from cervical precancerous lesions? This is a very serious problem.

It is relatively rare to find cervical precancerous lesions during pregnancy, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. What should I do if cervical precancerous lesions are found during pregnancy? Kong Weimin pointed out that the treatment principles for cervical precancerous lesions during pregnancy are mainly based on the size of the gestational age and the stage of cervical precancerous lesions. There are mainly three situations:

If early cervical precancerous lesions are found in the middle or late stages of pregnancy, observation can be the main approach, and treatment can be initiated after childbirth.

If advanced cervical precancer is discovered in early pregnancy, it should be treated actively as soon as possible;

If advanced cervical precancerous lesions are found in late pregnancy, early delivery can be possible if conditions permit.

The decision on the occurrence of cervical precancerous lesions in pregnant women should be based on the stage of cervical precancerous lesions, the month of pregnancy, and the mother's expectation for the fetus. If a mother with early cervical precancerous lesions wishes to have a baby, she can continue the pregnancy under close observation and wait for postpartum treatment. If the lesion is already in the late stage, the pregnancy should be terminated as soon as possible and given appropriate treatment, which is the same as the non-pregnant period. Some patients with invasive cervical cancer who are eager to have children can continue the pregnancy under close observation until the fetus is delivered and can survive before treatment. You can rest assured that cervical precancerous lesions have no teratogenic effect on the fetus.

What are the dangers of cervical precancerous lesions in pregnant women? During pregnancy, due to increased blood and lymphatic circulation, cancer cells are easy to spread. Estrogen levels increase during pregnancy, which can also promote the development of cancer. In addition, the compression and damage of the cervix during childbirth can accelerate the spread and metastasis of cancer cells. Cancer can harden the cervix, and the cervix cannot expand during childbirth, resulting in dystocia. At the same time, the cervix is ​​easy to tear, causing heavy bleeding.

Although the chance of pregnant women developing cervical precancerous lesions is very small, we should not underestimate its existence. It brings great harm to female friends. If unfortunately, patients develop cervical precancerous lesions during pregnancy, they should not worry too much. What we should do is to maintain a good attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. We must be determined that we can defeat the disease.
