Patient's question:
Medical history: For several years, I used to experience premature ejaculation. Then, I went to Shenzhen Beida Hospital for treatment and took medication for about two years. There were periods where I stopped taking the medication because of varying levels of doctors' expertise. Currently, under the guidance of a doctor, I am persistently taking half a tablet every day.Past treatment and effectiveness: My prolactin levels have been stable, but I still cannot stop taking the medication. If I stop, it will rebound.
What help is desired: I would like to know if it is possible to have children while taking the medication and whether the medication affects sperm quality.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm happy to help you. Taking oral medication during pregnancy can be harmful to the baby, but the harm from the medication is not 100%. I suggest you decide whether to keep the child yourself. If you decide to keep the child, it is recommended to have regular prenatal check-ups and ultrasound screening! Generally, conception during bromocriptine treatment does not affect the pregnancy. It is recommended that you go to a specialized hospital for a detailed examination, reduce the dosage of medication, and generally stop taking the medication after confirming pregnancy. However, when treating gestational prolactinoma in pregnant women, the medication can still be used to prevent the tumor from growing during pregnancy. Large-scale and long-term studies have not found that this medication increases the rate of fetal malformations.
