[Chronic inflammatory bowel disease and pregnancy].
The authors have looked out the obstetric history of 13 young women who were suffering from ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease between the years 1978 and 1982 and who had 25 pregnancies. This study made it possible to analyse the influence of these pathological conditions on the evolution of pregnancy as well as the effect of pregnancy on the evolution of the disease. The different therapeutic treatments that have to be given for these diseases, such as medical treatment using Sulphasalazine, enemata, corticosteroids and Azathioprin, or surgical treatments have been examined in their relationship with pregnancy. The results that have been obtained confirm those to be found in the literature in the sense that the two conditions are independent of one another and therapy for the pregnancy as well as for the bowel disease can be continued without too much consideration for the effect of the one condition on the other.
