What impact does sarcoidosis have on pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Sarcoidosis is a problem where several different parts of the body develop granulomas (small balls of immune cells). It's impact depends on where these are. If they are in the lung, women can not get enough oxygen and that can affect the baby. Treatment is usually steroids which can increase the risk of cleft palate and diabetes. Overall it is better to treat than not to treat.
