Can severe scoliosis affect fertility?

  Patient: Hello, I am 26 years old, I had a severe scoliosis when I was a child, resulting in asymmetry on both sides and short upper body, but the rest of the gynecological aspects are very normal. What kind of tests can you suggest me to do? Will it be possible to get it corrected? Thank you! I hope to get your answer as soon as possible Doctor: If it is true that “I had a severe scoliosis when I was a child, resulting in asymmetry on both sides and a short upper body”, then it is likely to be congenital scoliosis and the deformity is serious. In this case, it is recommended that surgery should be considered, and early surgery is advisable. First, congenital spinal deformity continues to progress in adulthood, although the rate of aggravation is slower than before adulthood, but this trend is inevitable; second, scoliosis leads to imbalance in the development of the skeletal muscles on both sides of the spine, causing muscle tension and strain, which can easily cause low back pain after the twenties, after a long period of standing and sitting, that is, low back pain and discomfort and gradually aggravated; third, female patients after childbirth due to pelvic and iliac Fourth, after the age of 40s, due to the decline of hormone levels and the emergence of osteoporosis, female patients will have a small peak of spinal deformity aggravation, and then surgery is bound to be more deformed, orthopedic difficulties, increased surgical risks, increased costs, and reduced orthopedic effects. Therefore, surgical treatment is recommended. Of course, without surgery, the current spinal condition generally has no effect on your fertility. You can have children after 1.5 years after surgery.
