Can patients with lupus have an abortion?

In general, if a lupus patient does not have significant symptoms, termination of pregnancy may be considered. However, if the patient is currently experiencing an active flare-up, termination is usually not recommended. Patients with concerns should seek timely medical consultation. Specific analysis is as follows:

If the reproductive system of a lupus patient is unaffected, and platelet levels and coagulation function are normal, with the disease in a stable phase, most patients retain normal fertility and may freely choose whether to undergo termination of pregnancy.

If a lupus patient has obvious symptoms such as worsening skin lesions, joint pain, or kidney damage—indicating active lupus or serious complications—termination of pregnancy is generally not advised, as it could increase health risks. Additionally, medication restrictions during this period may make termination unsuitable, to avoid interfering with ongoing treatment efficacy.

It is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle, ensure adequate sleep, improve dietary habits, regulate physical condition, and promote overall health.
