Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This manuscript addresses high-yield topics related to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) in adolescents and young women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including puberty, menstruation, contraception, fertility, pregnancy, preventive care, and counseling strategies. RECENT FINDINGS: Adolescent and young women with IBD are at risk for delayed puberty, menstrual cycle disorders, unintended pregnancy, and cervical cancer. Active disease or a history of intra-abdominal surgery can negatively impact fertility and pregnancy outcomes. With appropriate screening, counseling and education, and shared decision making, providers can optimize both IBD and SRH outcomes. Further research in needed to specifically understand the role of pre-conception counseling in the adolescent setting, optimal management of menstrual cycle disorders in women with IBD, and the safety of newer medications during pregnancy.
期刊介绍:
As the field of gastroenterology and hepatology rapidly evolves, the wealth of published literature can be overwhelming. The aim of the journal is to help readers stay abreast of such advances by offering authoritative, systematic reviews by leading experts. We accomplish this aim by appointing Section Editors who invite international experts to contribute review articles that highlight recent developments and important papers published in the past year. Major topics in gastroenterology are covered, including pediatric gastroenterology, neuromuscular disorders, infections, nutrition, and inflammatory bowel disease. These reviews provide clear, insightful summaries of expert perspectives relevant to clinical practice. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field.
