Can I still get pregnant if I have adnexitis?

Pregnancy is actually a process in which the female egg cell and the male sperm meet. Therefore, as long as the female ovulates normally and has normal sexual life when suffering from adnexitis, it is possible to get pregnant. This is certain. Adnexitis is a disease of the fallopian tubes and ovaries, which will affect a woman's fertility, but it does not mean that you cannot get pregnant when you have adnexitis. Some patients ovulate and get pregnant normally when they suffer from some mild adnexitis. It is possible to get pregnant when you have adnexitis, but because pregnancy when you have adnexitis is risky, it is easy to cause miscarriage or fetal malformation, and it is also not good for women's health, so it is recommended not to have children at this time. Generally speaking, it is recommended that women who suffer from adnexitis must be treated and recovered before having children. In addition, when suffering from adnexitis, in order to recover from the disease as soon as possible, you should pay attention to not eating spicy food at this time.

Causes of adnexitis

After delivery or abortion, due to the decrease in resistance, pathogens ascend through the reproductive tract and spread to the fallopian tubes and ovaries, then cause inflammation of the entire pelvic cavity.

While intrauterine contraceptive devices are widely used, they are often caused by patients not paying attention to personal hygiene or by lax surgical procedures.

Uterine cavity operations performed without strict disinfection, such as: vacuum extraction, hysterosalpingography, and obstetric surgery infections without strict disinfection.

Not paying attention to menstrual hygiene, having sex during menstruation, or having unclean sex, etc.

If there is an infection in other parts of the body and it is not treated promptly, the pathogens can be spread through the bloodstream and cause salpingo-oophoritis, which is more common in tuberculosis diseases.

Inflammation of organs near the pelvis or fallopian tubes, such as appendicitis, can directly spread to cause fallopian tube inflammation, oophoritis, and pelvic peritonitis. The inflammation usually occurs in the adjacent fallopian tubes and ovaries.

Sexually transmitted diseases. For example, after gonorrhea infection, the gonorrhea bacteria can spread upward along the mucous membrane and cause inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries.

How to prevent adnexitis

Once a woman has an adnexal disease, she should follow the treatment principles, take a positive attitude, and treat it thoroughly to control the condition as soon as possible to prevent it from turning into chronic adnexitis. This is one of the preventive measures for adnexitis.

Women should pay attention to their own and their partners' personal hygiene when having sex. Before intercourse, both men and women should clean their external genitalia to prevent the smooth invasion of adnexitis bacteria. Women should refrain from having sex when they have vaginal bleeding symptoms.

To prevent adnexitis in women, attention should be paid to vulvar hygiene and personal cleanliness; attention should be paid to preventing infection from sanitary ware and toilets.

Women should pay attention to their own nutritional health, strengthen nutrition during menstruation, after artificial abortion and after childbirth; enhance their physical fitness, increase resistance and immunity, and reduce the chance of adnexitis.

When artificial abortion, delivery, intrauterine contraceptive device removal and other intrauterine procedures are required, strict disinfection should be carried out. Prevention of adnexitis requires avoiding the introduction of pathogens into the vagina and uterus during surgery, thereby avoiding artificial infection.
