Patients with ankylosing spondylitis can usually have normal childbirth and it does not significantly affect the reproductive organs or perinatal period.
The goal of treating ankylosing spondylitis is to control inflammation, alleviate or relieve symptoms, and maintain normal posture and optimal functional positioning to prevent deformity. This usually requires early diagnosis and treatment, as well as a series of comprehensive measures, including educating patients and their families, physical therapy, rehabilitation therapy, medication, and surgical procedures.
