A member asked:

Is it safe to become pregnant with an scs in the buttocks if the leads are removed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Safety not known...: ...of an implanted SCS device for pregnant women and their unborn babies. Risks & benefits of keeping or removing the device if you get pregnant need to be weighed by you, your OB-GYN & neurosurgeon. It shouldn't prevent pregnancy, so please get a pregnancy test if you miss a period and see your doctor ASAP if you think you've conceived.
