Hi there.

According to the MRI report you have Lumbar Spondylosis of the L5 vertebra. This vertebra is close to the pelvis. There is also mild evidence of potential nerve compression higher up in the spine which may cause thigh and knee weakness later if not taken care of.

Pregnancy can be attained but a normal delivery may be very difficult. An elective Cesarian section may be required because the spondylosis or degeneration of the spinal bones can cause obstruction to the passage for child-birth.

Avoid heavy back exercises. Avoid lifting heavy weights. Avoid constipation by eating diet rich in fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables and fibre. Drink 1-2 litres of water daily. Avoid having sex in painful positions.

Wishing good health.

Regards,

Hi,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Based on the findings you have mentioned you seem to have propensity for Disc prolapse at 2 levels. Which is really incapacitating and limits your activity. As far as your planning for second child is concerned. I would like to say NO. Do not take me wrong. I am not discouraging you but i m cautioning you. If you plan for a child there shall be no major problem during the first 3 months as the baby would still be in the pelvic region. But from the second trimester where the uterus becomes abdominal ,as the the baby grows and you start gaining more weight that might take a heavy toll on your back. That might keep you confined to bed.It might even aggravate your problem.

I would recommend you to first get treated for the spine problem and then plan for 2nd child.

But if you still want a child consult a neuro surgeon or an Orthopaedician , take his advice and plan accordingly.

Hope you got my point

Wish you a healthy life

Take care
