Patient's question:
My aunt recently noticed an increase in her menstrual flow and has symptoms of anemia, such as general fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, and palpitations. The doctor said that smoking and drinking had triggered uterine fibroids. She wants to know, how can uterine fibroids be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, a uterine fibroid on the posterior wall of the uterus generally does not interfere with pregnancy. Of course, it first depends on the specific location of the uterine fibroid. If it is an intramural fibroid on the posterior wall of the uterus, it should not interfere with pregnancy. Normal women often have small uterine fibroids. If it is a submucosal fibroid within the uterine cavity, there may be a possibility of affecting pregnancy. However, it is difficult to say how long it will take to get pregnant. Under normal circumstances, if you are not breastfeeding, you should be able to get pregnant within a year. It is recommended to relax your mind, undergo thorough pre-pregnancy examinations, and if you do not use contraception, if you do not get pregnant within a year, it is important to go to a regular hospital for a face-to-face consultation with a doctor to discuss the matter in detail. I wish you good luck.
