Patient's question:
Now ankylosing spondylitis has a stabilization period, recovery is quite good, sexual life is also fine, and the duration is not short. It has been about 20 years since stopping medication. Now, I want to have a child. I had a son before with ankylosing spondylitis. Can someone with ankylosing spondylitis have children?Doctor's answer:
Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, and its treatment is relatively difficult. Current treatment generally relies on antipyretic and analgesic drugs or hormone shock therapy. However, the results are not very ideal. It is recommended to use autoimmune drugs for the treatment of male diseases, as the condition tends to fluctuate. Long-term medication is required, and treatment should be reconsidered based on careful examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and to pay attention to personal hygiene.
