Can a patient with advanced lymphoma get pregnant and give birth to a healthy baby?

Can patients with advanced lymphoma get pregnant and give birth to healthy babies? In recent years, statistics have shown that for lymphoma patients who are in long-term remission after treatment and are in good general condition, pregnancy and childbirth can be basically normal, and there is no adverse effect on the treatment and condition. Therefore, lymphoma patients should generally consider childbearing two years after achieving complete remission after treatment.

Since pregnancy with lymphoma is quite dangerous, theoretically, therapeutic abortion should be considered to terminate the pregnancy. However, artificial abortion may also cause bleeding and intrauterine infection, which is even more dangerous than natural childbirth. Therefore, whether to terminate the pregnancy should be considered comprehensively and combined with the patient's condition. Lymphoma patients with stable conditions can continue the pregnancy and give birth naturally as much as possible. Chemotherapy drugs should be reduced or stopped as much as possible during pregnancy. It is advisable to terminate the pregnancy for those who conceive during the remission period of lymphoma or those who are prone to relapse.
The treatment of pregnancy during the non-remission period of lymphoma is more complicated and difficult. If it is not handled properly, it may endanger the life of the mother and the fetus. Most scholars believe that at this time, the main focus should be on protecting the mother's body, and active chemotherapy should be used to achieve complete remission of lymphoma in order to reduce complications during delivery. Of course, chemotherapy may cause stillbirth or malformation, and patients and their families should be fully aware of this. Chemotherapy during delivery often increases the risk of bleeding and infection, so it is also necessary to actively carry out supportive treatment at the same time as chemotherapy, including blood transfusions and antibiotics. The best way to deal with the various stages of pregnancy and delivery of lymphoma patients is to cooperate with obstetricians and gynecologists and hematologists.
Through the above introduction, we know that lymphoma has a certain impact on pregnancy. If a pregnant woman suffers from lymphoma, it is very dangerous for both the adult and the fetus. At this time, the pregnant woman and her family should consider whether to terminate the pregnancy, treat the lymphoma first, and consider giving birth two years after the lymphoma is cured.
