Patient's question:
I am a 63-year-old woman, and I went through menopause two years ago. However, recently I have been experiencing intense itching in my outer genital area and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Could you please answer the following question: Can I get pregnant if I have uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Your fibroids do not affect your ability to conceive. After pregnancy, the fibroids may grow slightly, but they usually reach a size and then remain relatively stable. There are two considerations: one is the accumulation of blood if there is continuous bleeding, and the other is to investigate pregnancy if you have a history of missed periods. Based on this consultation, the doctor updated the summary and suggested that the first consideration should be pregnancy, given your history of missed periods.Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to keep a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
