Can I have a baby if I have cervicitis?

Being a mother is undoubtedly the happiest and most dreamed thing for a woman. However, female diseases have also become a common type of disease in recent years. Out of responsibility for the new life, some pregnant mothers will be very worried and entangled if their uterus has inflammation. I really want a baby, but I am afraid that my inflammation will have a bad impact on the baby. Cervicitis is a common gynecological inflammation. So what impact will cervicitis have on the baby? If a woman suffers from cervicitis, can she still keep the baby if she becomes pregnant?

What is cervicitis:

Cervicitis is one of the common gynecological diseases, which is more common in women of childbearing age. It is caused by damage to the cervix and invasion of pathogens, including inflammation of the cervicovaginal part and inflammation of the cervical canal mucosa. The cervix is ​​an important line of defense to prevent pathogens from the lower reproductive tract from entering the upper reproductive tract, but the single-layer columnar epithelium of the cervical canal itself has poor resistance to infection. If it is damaged by mechanical stimulation such as sexual intercourse, childbirth, abortion, and surgery, it is more susceptible to infection. Clinically, cervicitis is divided into acute and chronic types, with chronic inflammation being the most common. The main symptoms of acute cervicitis are redness and swelling of the cervix and edema of the cervical mucosa, often accompanied by acute vaginitis or acute endometritis. Chronic cervicitis has many manifestations such as cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, cervical glandular cysts and cervical eversion. Chronic cervicitis has a certain relationship with cervical cancer, so it should be actively prevented and treated. Women over 30 with cervicitis should have regular cervical smears to check for cancer cells.

Effects of cervicitis on babies:

If it is mild cervicitis, you can have a child, but it is best to wait until it is cured, which will cause less harm to the child and yourself. Cervicitis has a certain impact on fertility. Generally speaking, cervical secretions will increase significantly than before and have a thicker texture. Because they contain a large number of white blood cells, when sperm passes through the cervix, the inflammatory environment will reduce the motility of sperm, and the thick secretions will also make it difficult for sperm to pass through. Inflammatory cells will also engulf a large number of sperm, and the remaining sperm will be destroyed by bacteria and their toxins. If there is also E. coli infection, the sperm will produce a strong agglutination effect, causing the sperm to lose its vitality. The above-mentioned toxic effects on sperm cause the sperm to consume excessive energy and shorten its lifespan. This not only has a certain impact on the sperm's motility, but also hinders the sperm from entering the uterine cavity, thereby ultimately reducing the chance of sperm and egg combining. Therefore, in general, the fertility of people with cervical disease is generally lower than that of the normal population. It is best to have a child after the disease is cured. If you have a child before the disease is cured, it will be harmful to both the child and yourself. Because if you take too many medicines during pregnancy, it will cause deformities in the baby. But if you do not treat cervicitis during pregnancy, the condition will gradually become more serious and may eventually lead to the sadness of miscarriage. So it is best to have a child after the treatment is complete.

prevention:

1. Maintain personal hygiene. Women should pay attention to hygiene, keep the vulva clean and prevent the invasion of pathogens.

2. Have regular gynecological examinations to detect gynecological inflammation in a timely manner and ensure early detection and treatment.

3. Pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, miscarriage and postpartum period. Sexual intercourse and bathing in a tub should be strictly prohibited during menstruation and after delivery to prevent pathogenic bacteria from taking advantage of the opportunity to enter. People with irregular menstruation should be treated actively.
