A member asked:
Is it dangerous to become pregnant if i have a small tear in my diaphragm (possibly from an ercp) (diagnosed today during endoscopy) ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: This is a tough one. Absolutely get an opinion from your gyn and possibly from a pulmonologist. Pregnancy puts incredible pressures on all of the organs of the body -- either directly or indirectly -- and so this would be one potentially serious issue to address sooner than later. It may require regular monitoring or even a defiinitive surgical repair.
