Have Ulcerative Colitis. Had Surgery. Can I Still Get Pregnant?
Hi, my name is Leigh when I was only 8 I became very sick was in and out of hospitals for over a year. I saw doctor after doctor in different specialties anyway at 9 I found out that I had ulcerative colitis. By the time it was found basically my whole large intestines was infected so I went to UVA hospital and had my first surgery. Then 2 years later I had another one which was the reversal so basically my question is would having the surgeries and UC cause any complications or problems with getting pregnant??

Hi, if you don't get operated there will be mal absorption, and anemia, and all associated problems.
You got operated and revarsal operation done to make your intestines near normal ,and intestines have nothing to do with the genital system. So don't worry about the things, good luck.
