Abstract:
Management of inflammatory bowel disease in women of reproductive age requires special attention. Even though fertility in women without previous pelvis surgery is similar to the general population, active disease at conception and during pregnancy can lead to unfavorable pregnancy and fetal outcomes. In general, most medications needed to treat inflammatory bowel disease are low risk during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Achieving and maintaining disease remission, patient education, and a multidisciplinary team approach is the key to a successful pregnancy.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
