Is Pregnancy Advisable While Having Scoliosis Condition And Sickle Cell Trait?
Hello, A genetic testing of your blood sample is required to check whether you are sickle cell carrier or not. Scoliosis is not a contraindication for pregnancy. Difficult delivery must be anticipated and a good quality centre must be preferred for delivery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family physician
