Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am 26 years old. Two years ago, I was thoroughly examined in the hospital and diagnosed with uterine fibroids. But this year, I plan to have a child, so I would like to consult the doctor here. Can I get pregnant with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are generally caused by excessive estrogen in the body, which can easily lead to the occurrence of uterine fibroids. If it is a small uterine fibroid, it usually does not affect the menstrual cycle and is considered to have no impact on fertility. However, during the pre-pregnancy period, it is recommended to take 0.4 milligrams of folic acid tablets orally to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. After pregnancy, it is also necessary to regularly and carefully monitor the fetus and any changes in the uterine fibroids, as uterine fibroids can easily cause red degeneration during pregnancy.For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to standard treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, pay more attention to personal hygiene, and avoid sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations.
