Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited an immunology department, but the results were not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. Please ask: what are the symptoms of pregnancy complicated with systemic lupus erythematosus?Doctor's answer:
If a female patient has lupus, it is best to avoid pregnancy. Pregnancy may trigger lupus flare-ups, acute relapses, or worsen the condition. There is also a risk of reverse hereditary traits, so it is advisable to consider giving up. If the lupus has not yet been discovered, pregnancy can be considered. However, if pregnancy is already underway, the focus should be on continuing the pregnancy, but it is important to consider medication use based on the condition. If medication is necessary, it is best to terminate the pregnancy.
