Can I get pregnant if I have some inflammation?

Women should be prepared before getting pregnant, avoid getting sick, and pay special attention to gynecological inflammation. But is it possible to get pregnant if there is a little inflammation? It is actually not easy for women with inflammation to get pregnant. It is best to treat the inflammation before getting pregnant. If you are pregnant while suffering from inflammation, you should be aware of the possibility of miscarriage. Once the inflammation becomes serious, it will enter the uterus and bring adverse factors to the fetus, possibly causing miscarriage or deformity.

Does inflammation affect pregnancy?

Common gynecological inflammation can cause increased vaginal secretions, which in turn affects the sperm's ability to penetrate the ovum, making it impossible for the sperm to meet the egg normally, reducing the probability of conception. If you have gynecological inflammation, it is recommended to treat it before planning pregnancy. If inflammation is not treated in time before pregnancy, the accelerated metabolism of the human body after pregnancy may directly lead to worsening of inflammation and bring some complications, and the immune function and endocrine system of the pregnant woman will be damaged. Once intrauterine infection, birth canal infection and other factors affect the fetus, it may cause more serious consequences such as miscarriage, premature birth, congenital malformations, and mental retardation.

What to do if you have gynecological inflammation and are pregnant

Pregnant mothers should not panic too much if they suffer from gynecological inflammation. After pregnancy, due to the effect of hormones, the secretions of the lower body increase and the vulva becomes moist, which easily breeds bacteria. At the same time, pregnant women's resistance is also reduced, and they are more susceptible to external bacteria than ordinary people, so various gynecological inflammations are likely to afflict "expectant mothers".

Pregnant women should avoid using public baths, swimming pools, bathtubs, toilets and clothes, etc. They should change and dry their underwear frequently to reduce indirect transmission and bacterial infection, and aggravate gynecological inflammation.

Pregnant women should maintain good personal hygiene habits. When urinating or defecating, you should wipe from front to back with toilet paper to prevent anal bacteria from being transmitted to the vagina and urethra; wash the vulva every day to keep it clean and dry; wear silk or pure cotton clothes that are highly breathable, soft and loose to allow the vulva to breathe fresh air and reduce bacterial growth.

Pregnant women should avoid sitting for long periods of time to reduce the chance of dampness and heat in the genitals, and eat less spicy and irritating foods to avoid promoting moisture and heat, which may induce various inflammations.
