INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE AND PREGNANCY

When adjusted for patient age, the fertility rate in UC is probably normal. In contrast, fertility is reduced in CD in proportion to disease activity and can be restored when remission is induced. The ovaries and fallopian tubes can be affected by the inflammatory process of CD, especially on the right side because of the proximity of the terminal ileum. In addition, perirectal, perineal, rectovaginal abscesses, and fistulae can result in dyspareunia. Infertility in men can be caused by sulfasalazine but reverses when treatment is stopped.

In UC, fetal outcome approximates that in the normal population. In CD, spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, and developmental defects are increased with increased disease activity, not medications. The courses of CD and UC during pregnancy mostly correlate with disease activity at the time of conception. Most CD patients can deliver vaginally, but cesarean section may be the preferred route of delivery for patients with anorectal and perirectal abscesses and fistulas to reduce the likelihood of fistulas developing or extending into the episiotomy scar.
