Patient's question:
Medical Description: It has been several years since I first experienced premature ejaculation. I then sought treatment at Shenzhen Peking University Hospital and have been taking medication for about two years, with some interruptions, as doctors' expertise varies. Currently, under the guidance of a doctor, I am persistently taking half a tablet daily.Past Treatment and Effects: My prolactin levels have remained stable, but I cannot yet stop taking the medication. If I do, the condition tends to rebound.
Desired Help: I would like to know if it is possible to conceive while on medication and whether the medication affects sperm quality.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm happy to assist you. Taking oral medication during pregnancy can be harmful to the baby, but the harm from 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 undergo regular prenatal check-ups and fetal anomaly screenings! Generally, conception during the use of bromocriptine does not pose any issues. It is advised to visit a specialized hospital for a detailed examination, reduce medication dosage, and discontinue the medication once pregnancy is confirmed. However, when treating pregnant women with prolactinomas, the medication may still be used to prevent the tumor from growing during pregnancy. Large-scale and long-term studies have not found this medication to increase the rate of fetal malformations.
