Does uterine cold and pelvic inflammatory disease affect pregnancy?

Uterine cold and pelvic inflammatory disease may have some impact on pregnancy, mainly because they may interfere with normal ovulation, the state of the endometrium, and the implantation process of the embryo. However, as long as timely treatment and lifestyle adjustments are made, most women can still successfully prepare for pregnancy.

Uterine cold is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine, which refers to a cold constitution in women, which can be manifested as cold hands and feet, delayed menstruation, dysmenorrhea, etc. Uterine cold usually leads to poor blood flow in the uterus, and the endometrium is prone to being too thin, which affects the implantation of the fertilized egg. Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological inflammation, mostly caused by bacterial infection, which can manifest as lower abdominal pain, abnormal leucorrhea, irregular menstruation, etc. If left untreated for a long time, it may cause adhesion or blockage of the fallopian tubes, thereby increasing the risk of infertility. When the two coexist, the chance of pregnancy may be further reduced. Patients need to make a clear diagnosis and actively carry out targeted treatment.

For the treatment of uterine cold, Chinese medicine often uses moxibustion to regulate the coldness of the uterus. It can also be adjusted through diet, such as eating more warm foods, such as ginger brown sugar water, mutton soup, etc. to warm the body, while avoiding cold foods. For pelvic inflammatory disease, antibiotics are generally used for treatment, such as metronidazole, cephalosporins combined with broad-spectrum antibiotics to control inflammation. If the condition is serious, physical therapy such as microwave and shortwave therapy may also be required to promote the absorption of inflammation. In the diet, you can add an appropriate amount of foods rich in vitamin C to enhance immunity and promote local inflammation repair.

In order to improve the success rate of pregnancy preparation, women should keep warm, especially during menstruation to avoid cold; maintain good hygiene habits to prevent infection; have a regular work and rest schedule and avoid staying up late; if there is long-term abdominal pain or abnormal secretions, seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid misdiagnosis or delayed treatment. At the same time, regulating the uterine environment under the guidance of a doctor and restoring normal reproductive function will help to achieve a successful pregnancy.
