Patient's question:
Just a few days ago after getting married, I kept making mistakes and also had a craving for sour things. My family noticed and said I might be pregnant. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and it turned out I was pregnant. However, during the examination, they discovered a problem with my uterus. When I heard the news, I really didn't know how to tell my family about this.Doctor's answer:
If uterine fibroids are not causing any discomfort during pregnancy and there are no other symptoms, it is advisable to focus on early pregnancy and closely monitor the fibroids. This determines the size and location of the fibroids. If the fibroids are not submucosal or located between the muscle layers, they generally will not interfere with the child. It is recommended to have regular follow-up ultrasound scans during pregnancy to understand the progression of the fibroids. Fibroids may lead to miscarriage or premature birth. If the fibroids grow rapidly during pregnancy or after delivery, and symptoms such as sudden lower abdominal pain appear, there is a possibility of fibroid transformation, which may require emergency surgery. However, your fibroids are currently stable and only require regular follow-up. I have answered your question about what to do if you discover uterine fibroids during pregnancy.
