Patient's question:
Suffering from sacroiliac arthritis, it gets worse when I exert myself in cold weather during winter. I want to ask the doctor if having a baby with sacroiliac arthritis will be very painful. Is it very painful to give birth naturally with sacroiliac arthritis? I heard from others that having a baby with sacroiliac arthritis can cause severe lower back pain, and it is not recommended to give birth naturally?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, you have sacroiliac arthritis, which worsens when you exert yourself in cold weather in winter. Will having a baby with sacroiliac arthritis be very painful? Is giving birth naturally very painful?Based on the situation you described:
1. The sacroiliac arthritis condition itself does not interfere with conception.
2. When the patient is in the acute phase of sacroiliac arthritis and needs medication for treatment, it is not advisable to conceive. Instead, contraceptive measures should be used. After stopping medication for half a month, it is suitable for delivery.
3. Female patients with sacroiliac arthritis have a longer pregnancy duration. Therefore, before pregnancy, it is necessary to have a good understanding of the treatment to stabilize the condition and prevent recurrence during pregnancy. If the condition cannot be treated with medication during pregnancy, only physical therapy can be implemented.
