Does clozapine affect fertility?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Does clozapine affect fertility?

Doctor's answer:

It has an impact on pregnancy, so it is recommended that you wait for one month after stopping the medication before getting pregnant. Moreover, Western medicine has significant side effects, numerous adverse reactions, and drawbacks such as ease of addiction and difficulty in discontinuation. It is suggested that you consider traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Chinese herbal medicine for treatment.
You should receive active intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment for 7 days. If the abdominal pain disappears, you can have a follow-up ultrasound to check if the accumulation of fluid in the uterine cavity and cervical canal has reduced or disappeared. If there is still fluid present, it is recommended to perform a hysteroscopy to drain the fluid from the cervix and uterine cavity.
