If a women is suffering from TURNER'S SYNDROME,can she be pregnant ever??


(professional's help needed)

Maybe, but the risk is high

"Pregnancy:

As more women with Turner syndrome complete pregnancy thanks to the new modern techniques to treat infertility, it has to be noted that pregnancy may be at risk for cardiovascular complications.

Indeed several studies had suggested an increased risk for aortic dissection in pregnancy (Lin et al, 1998). Three deaths have even been reported. The influence of oestrogen has been examined but remains unclear. It seems that the high risk of aortic dissection during pregnancy in women with Turner syndrome may be due to the increased hemodynamic load rather than the high oestrogen rate (Elsheikh et al, 2002).

Of course these findings are important and need to be remembered while following a pregnant patient with Turner syndrome. "

Hey, I looked it up and this is what I found:
Modern reproductive technologies have also been used to help women with Turner syndrome become pregnant if they desire. For example, a donor egg can be used to create an embryo, which is carried by the Turner syndrome woman.

90%-98% of people affected with Turner's Syndrome are infertile.
Then if the women does get pregnant unfortunately chances of carrying to term are also next to nil..
Egg donation has opened the door to the possibility of pregnancy in women with Turner's syndrome, but it also exposes them to some unexpected and possibly fatal cardiac risks.
