Inflamed Cervix Due To Poor Immune System, D And C Recommended. Will I Be Able To Conceive?
My Dr diagnosed me with an inflamed cervix due to poor immune system , she told me there was nothing I could do to help this ( supplements ect), she wants to do a d&c. I am 28 and have no children but would like to have some soon. I am concerned about being able to have children, I need more information than I feel I have gotten from my dr and there is not much info on the internet about it but I do keep reading about hysterectomies and it scares me

Hello
There are many drugs which can be used locally or systemic in order to support and improve your immune system. Indeed vaginal ecosystem should be renovated. I think you are absolutely able to have children. Be careful to your diet (fruit, vegetables), avoid much sunlight (it is harmful for your immunity system). Some underlying pathology has to be treated (hormonal disorders, intestinal problems, etc.). All possible infections have to treated (helminth, bacteria, viruses). Immunisation from HPV (Human papillomavirus) has to be done. Your sexual partner has to be also investigated and treated if it is required.
I wish you Good Health
