Many women have encountered infertility problems, which require formal treatment. The most common cause of female infertility is reproductive system diseases, such as tubal and uterine diseases, and pelvic inflammatory disease may also lead to infertility. So, can pelvic inflammatory disease cause infertility to be treated?
Female infertility caused by pelvic inflammatory disease can be treated. Generally, after the pelvic inflammatory disease is controlled, women can conceive smoothly. Pelvic inflammatory disease is divided into two types: acute and chronic, which have different treatment methods. When the disease is relatively mild, it can be treated by taking medication. If the condition is severe, surgery may be necessary.
If women suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease and do not receive timely treatment, it can easily affect other organs and tissues, such as the uterus and fallopian tubes. Especially chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, it is likely to cause the fallopian tubes to become rigid and blocked, which can affect the movement of sperm and the transport of eggs, leading to infertility.
When pelvic inflammatory disease is discovered, timely treatment is necessary. Otherwise, not only will it affect pregnancy, but even if the pregnancy is successful, it often interferes with the operation of the fertilized egg due to the presence of inflammation, which can cause the fertilized egg to implant in an abnormal position and form ectopic pregnancy, also known as ectopic pregnancy. Women with pelvic inflammatory disease have a three fold higher risk of developing ectopic pregnancy compared to ordinary women.
