IBD and pregnancy

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), frequently occur in younger patients who are concerned about planning family and related questions. For these reasons, gastroenterologists are not infrequently faced with questions regarding pregnancy when advising or treating their patients with IBD. The following factors must be considered: inheritance of IBD in the offspring, fertility in IBD, the effects of IBD on pregnancy, the effects of diagnostic tests and surgical treatments on pregnancy, the medical therapy available, the effect of pregnancy on the course of IBD, and approach to delivery.
