Q: Dr. Wen, I would like to ask if there is any effect on the fetus if I get pregnant during the time of treatment desensitization? A: According to domestic and international literature and personal experience, female patients may not interrupt their treatment if they become pregnant during the maintenance treatment phase of desensitization. However, since desensitization treatment requires repeated visits to the hospital for injections, which may increase the potential risk of infection, especially nowadays when most families have only one child, it is prudent to stop desensitization treatment if a woman is pregnant or has plans to become pregnant in the near future. If a man wishes to have a child during desensitization, he is generally unaffected.
