Question
My child has had brain paralysis since they were little, and I don’t know the cause. We have visited many hospitals and taken many medications, but none have been effective. I want to know if my child can still get married and have children in the future?
Answer
Generally speaking, it is possible. Since brain paralysis does not affect the reproductive organs, it does not impact fertility. However, brain paralysis can be categorized into congenital and acquired forms. If it is congenital brain paralysis, it is recommended to get married but not to have children, as there is a certain genetic risk associated with congenital brain paralysis that may be passed on to the next generation, which could be detrimental to the child. If it is acquired brain paralysis, there are no issues, as brain paralysis itself does not affect fertility. However, since patients may require comprehensive care from family members during the pregnancy period, it is possible to have a healthy baby.
