Is it Possible to Get Pregnant with Inflammation in the Uterus?

Expert answer:

It is possible, but it is more difficult.

Inflammation of the uterus, called pelvic inflammatory disease, occurs due to infection caused by some types of bacteria, often acquired through sexual transmission.

It causes changes in the secretions and inner walls of the uterus, and may even favor the appearance of adhesions, which is when these walls "stick" to each other.

This can make it difficult to become pregnant during the infection. In addition, such modifications may leave sequelae in the uterus, and affect fertility even after proper treatment.

Also, it is important to remember that infection that happens during pregnancy can lead to serious risks for the baby.

Therefore, these patients need to be followed up by a gynecologist, and treatment should be started as soon as possible in order to avoid the risks to fertility and the baby.
