Can people with leukemia get pregnant and have children?

  With the improvement of leukemia treatment, more and more patients are able to survive and cure long-term health, so there are more and more patients and family members ask the question, can leukemia patients get pregnant and have children?  During leukemia treatment, leukemia patients have reduced immune function because of chemotherapy, and chemotherapy drugs can also damage germ cells, leading to germ cell aberrations; in addition, there is no definite explanation for the occurrence of genetic factors in the development of leukemia, and if pregnancy occurs during this period, the survival and health of the fetus cannot be guaranteed, and if pregnancy and childbirth occur at this time, not only is the child likely to be unhealthy, but the patient’s body will also suffer Therefore, it is certain that leukemia patients cannot get pregnant or give birth during treatment.  After the patient’s treatment for leukemia has come to an end, the patient has reached complete remission or even after healing, when the patient’s body, especially the germ cells, has recovered to a great extent and it is perfectly possible to conceive a healthy baby. However, statistically speaking, the probability of infertility and of conceiving a less healthy baby is still slightly higher in leukemia patients than in the general population (healthy).  Dozens of leukemia patients have been cured and conceived healthy babies in the last fifteen years, and no developmental disorders or adverse conditions such as mental retardation or malformations, much less hereditary or congenital leukemia, have been seen.
