Patient's question:
Hello, doctor, could I trouble you for a few minutes? Before I got pregnant, I had uterine fibroids. Now that I'm pregnant, I don't know if it will affect the fetus in my belly. Could you please tell me, do uterine fibroids affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If you had uterine fibroids before and are currently pregnant, you need to have a thorough gynecological ultrasound to check the size of the uterine fibroids. Most uterine fibroids are estrogen-dependent, as a decrease in estrogen stimulates the continuous shrinkage of fibroids. If uterine fibroids grow too large, they can control the fetus and affect its normal growth and development. Regular follow-up during pregnancy is recommended. Uterine fibroids are a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation. Finally, wish female patients a speedy recovery!
