Does scoliosis affect pregnancy?

In daily life, many people develop some bad sleeping postures and sitting postures when they sleep, which can easily induce scoliosis.

Scoliosis is also related to heredity, but scoliosis has the greatest impact on children's physical health. It will affect the growth and development of children. Many people worry that scoliosis will affect fertility. Does scoliosis affect pregnancy?

Does scoliosis affect pregnancy?

Whether a woman with scoliosis can become pregnant and have a baby depends on the degree of scoliosis, that is, the angle of scoliosis.

For those with a scoliosis of less than 20 degrees, there is no need to worry too much about fertility issues. Just pay attention to maintenance and rest, and avoid pregnancy that aggravates scoliosis. There is almost no danger.

For those with a temperature greater than 20 degrees and less than 45 degrees, the entire pregnancy must be completed under the guidance of a doctor. It is foreseeable that pregnancy will not only involve certain risks, but the gestational process will also be quite difficult.

Those with temperatures above 45 degrees are definitely not suitable for pregnancy. Conservative treatment can only alleviate systemic symptoms or prevent further development of scoliosis. It cannot avoid the impact of scoliosis on the fetus, nor can it change the impact of pregnancy on the mother. It is not worth trying. If you must have a child, you should wait until your spine has been surgically corrected to your satisfaction before becoming pregnant.

Therefore, before deciding to become pregnant, women with scoliosis must ask a specialist to determine the extent of the scoliosis, assess the functional status of various important organs, and complete the process of conceiving a new life under the doctor's advice and guidance to ensure the safety of mother and child. Women with severe scoliosis are unfortunate, and the effectiveness of surgical treatment is limited. The vast majority of these women are deprived of the right to become mothers.

However, scoliosis develops over a period of time, and it develops fastest and is most easily detected during adolescence in girls. If medical intervention is carried out at this time, it can effectively slow the course of the disease and prevent the disease from developing to moderate or severe levels.

Does scoliosis affect the fetus?

Whether scoliosis will affect the fetus depends on the severity of the scoliosis.

Mild scoliosis will have little impact on the fetus.

Severe scoliosis will have a greater and more serious impact on the fetus. For patients with severe scoliosis, the volume of the chest, abdominal, and pelvic cavities is significantly reduced, thus affecting the normal development of the patient's respiratory system, digestive system, cardiovascular circulatory system, endocrine system, etc., and subsequently affecting and restricting the functions and activities of the internal organs. The slightest exercise will cause palpitations, shortness of breath, chest tightness, purple lips, loss of appetite, indigestion, etc. For women like this, after pregnancy, the mother's body can neither provide enough oxygen and nutrition for the growth of the fetus, nor can it excrete the metabolic waste produced by the fetus in time, nor can it provide the necessary abdominal and pelvic space for the growth of the fetus. All these factors may lead to developmental delay or deformity of the fetus, causing miscarriage or difficult labor in pregnant women.
