Pregnancy After Concussion: A Clarion Call for Attention?

Objective: Emerging research shows that women who sustain a mild traumatic brain injury, also termed concussion, have a higher risk of menstrual irregularities and sexual dysfunctions. However, no research exists on how these reproductive disruptions affect women's subsequent pregnancies. The objective of this study was to evaluate pregnancy outcomes after concussion in a cohort of reproductive-aged women (aged 18-45 years), 24 months post-injury.
