Can people with systemic lupus erythematosus get pregnant?

Patient's question:

I have been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus. I have been receiving treatment for a while now, and my condition has been under control, and it has even improved a bit. My in-laws are pressuring us to get pregnant quickly, but I don't know if I can. Can someone with systemic lupus erythematosus get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

The onset of systemic lupus erythematosus may be related to changes in genetic hormones, allergies, or repeated failures of the immune system, leading to rheumatic immune connective tissue diseases, accompanied by discoid erythema and damage to multiple organ systems. During general treatment, pregnancy is generally not considered temporarily. It is recommended to supplement with high-protein, high-fat foods, avoid high-sugar and high-salt diets, and restructure the diet. Sun exposure should be avoided, and protective measures should be taken.
