Patient's question:
I am 53 years old. Recently, as I have gotten older, I have been experiencing leg pain. I have previously visited the immunology department, but the results were not significant. I have taken both Chinese and Western medicine, especially when the weather changes, I feel uncomfortable. What is the meaning of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally, when antiphospholipid antibodies cause comprehensive changes in pregnancy function, it means that there is an increased likelihood of recurrent miscarriage after pregnancy. This is a condition that tends to recur during the pregnancy process. Additionally, syphilis patients may also test positive for antiphospholipid antibodies, which is the same as the RPR titer test. Currently, if the child does not experience miscarriage and there are no other immune-related damages, it is advisable to wait and see. Conventionally, it is necessary to receive treatment for maintaining the pregnancy.
