A member asked:
While having a condition of bronciectasis, should a female avoid pregnancy especially if there is frequently a need for antibiotics thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: What antibiotics are you referring to? They differ greatly in their potential effects on the developing fetus. Go and discuss this with an ob/gyn doctor and if you want to become pregnant - best of luck.
