abstract = {Psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) are chronic inflammatory skin diseases that
frequently develop in young women. The aim of this study is to evaluate how hidradenitis suppurativa
and psoriasis impact women desiring to conceive, and their influence on fertility and gestation.
A systematic review of articles dating from January 2015 to April 2021 was performed using the
Scopus (Elsevier) database. The search terms were (psoriasis and (birth or pregnancy or fertility))
and ((hidradenitis suppurativa or acne inversa) and (birth or pregnancy or fertility)). The search was
limited to human data. Systematic reviews, case reports, clinical practice guidelines, expert consensus
and conference papers were excluded. The impact of HS on pregnancy includes an impaired desire
for pregnancy, a decrease in fertility, the worsening of the disease during pregnancy and potential
adverse events during pregnancy. Moreover, the pregnancy might imply a change on the treatment
of HS. The impact of psoriasis on pregnancy includes a decrease in fertility, potential adverse events
during pregnancy and an unpredictable evolution of the disease. Moreover, the pregnancy might
imply a change on the treatment of psoriasis, although biologic therapies do not appear to increase
the risk of adverse events. In conclusion, both HS and psoriasis have an impact on pregnancy. A
decrease of fertility has been reported. Moreover, both diseases have an unpredictable evolution
during pregnancy. Pregnant women who are under biologic therapy do not seem to have a higher rate
of adverse events. Treatment of both conditions is usually halted during pregnancy since scientific
evidence about their safety is not conclusive, or teratogenic risk has been proven.},
