Can you get pregnant if you have brain cancer

Brain cancer is also called brain tumor. At present, brain cancer is still a difficult problem for the medical community to overcome. There are many causes of brain cancer, and it is also very harmful. Many patients want to have children but are worried about not being able to get pregnant. So, can brain cancer patients get pregnant?

Generally, patients with brain cancer are not recommended to get pregnant. First, the tumor may lead to less than ideal hormone secretion in the brain. Of course, it may be too high or too low, depending on the location and nature of the tumor. If the endocrine system is not balanced, it may lead to the growth and development of the fetus. Secondly, although brain tumors are benign, the brain cavity is fixed. If a tumor grows on it, there will be a certain amount of intracranial pressure. If you are pregnant and give birth, or during pregnancy, it may cause increased blood pressure, increased intracranial pressure, and so on. There are many other factors involved that cannot be foreseen. If the intracranial pressure is too high and causes cerebral hemorrhage, the consequences are simply unimaginable. Therefore, it is generally recommended not to get pregnant.

In addition, in real life, there are indeed some cancer patients who have hereditary diseases, such as cerebral angioreticuloma and multiple neurofibromas. Most of these types of tumors will occur in several generations, and there may be several people in the same generation who will have them. Therefore, from a genetic point of view, it is not recommended for patients to get pregnant.
