What effect does lymphoma have on pregnancy?

Lymphoma is a common tumor among many types. It can occur at any age and in any person. Although lymphoma can be benign or malignant, benign lymphoma does not have a great impact on the patient's recovery, but malignant lymphoma can be life-threatening if not treated in time. So what effect does lymphoma have on pregnancy?

One of the main pathological changes of lymphoma is the extensive infiltration of lymphoma cells, which causes damage to the reproductive system. In addition, the radiation and drug damage during radiotherapy and chemotherapy may damage the ovaries and endometrium, so female patients' reproductive ability is reduced and it is difficult to conceive. However, once lymphoma patients achieve remission after treatment, their fertility can be restored.
In recent years, due to the continuous progress in lymphoma treatment, the remission rate has increased, the survival period has been extended, and most patients can work and live normally during the remission period, so the possibility of pregnancy during the remission period has also increased. In fact, as mentioned in the previous question, the harm of lymphoma combined with pregnancy is still very large. Therefore, women of childbearing age with lymphoma should avoid pregnancy within two years even if the disease is completely relieved. It is usually recommended to take estrogen contraceptives, which can prevent pregnancy and reduce excessive menstruation aggravated by thrombocytopenia.
