Does lymphoma treatment during pregnancy have any impact?

Maybe you are not very familiar with lymphoma, but when you hear this name, you can imagine its seriousness, which is mainly due to everyone's fear of cancer. Generally speaking, lymphoma is diagnosed and treated early, but what should a pregnant woman do if she finds out she has lymphoma during pregnancy? What are the effects of lymphoma on pregnancy and childbirth?

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.

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 drugs during radiotherapy and chemotherapy may damage the ovaries and endometrium, which may reduce the reproductive capacity of female patients and make it difficult for them to conceive. However, once lymphoma patients achieve remission after treatment, their fertility can be restored.

In recent years, due to the continuous progress of 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.

The above is an introduction to the impact of lymphoma on pregnancy and childbirth. After reading the above article, I believe everyone now knows that women with lymphoma are not suitable for childbirth, but it is not infertility. As long as the patient is cured of lymphoma two years later, they can give birth. Therefore, female compatriots should not be too afraid of lymphoma. Even if a pregnant woman unfortunately suffers from lymphoma, it can be treated, but at this time, the pregnancy should be terminated and the time to have a child should be delayed.
