Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Reproductive Medicine

Context:

  • Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) present unique challenges for women of childbearing potential.
  • Considerations include effects on fertility, pregnancy outcomes, disease course during gestation, medication safety, and genetic transmission.

Purpose:

  • To review current knowledge on the impact of IBD and its treatments on fertility and pregnancy.
  • To discuss therapeutic strategies and outcomes for pregnant or lactating IBD patients.

Summary:

  • Pregnancy outcomes in IBD patients are primarily linked to disease activity at conception; quiescent disease does not increase adverse events.
  • The majority of medications used for IBD management are considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Impact:

  • Provides essential information for clinicians and patients regarding family planning and management of IBD during pregnancy and lactation.
