Patient's question:
Pelvic inflammatory fluid, cervical inflammation, abdominal pain. I have the report but haven't shown it to the doctor yet. Could you please take a look at the report for me?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, it is not a problem for patients with ankylosing spondylitis to become pregnant, as it is unlikely to lead to dystocia. However, if there are severe problems with the hip joints, a cesarean section may be necessary. During pregnancy, when the pregnant woman stands, the continuously evolving fetus can cause a tendency for the spine to bend forward, which may also alleviate pain. Therefore, it is not recommended for patients to consider having children if their condition is not properly treated. Studies have shown that the drugs used to treat ankylosing spondylitis, such as sulfasalazine, methotrexate, and tripterygium, can interfere with the gonads, but the effects are reversible.
