Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for an ultrasound examination when I was pregnant. Everything was normal with Yisi Sheng at that time. Now I am 11 weeks pregnant, and when I had a check-up at the hospital, the doctor said they found a uterine fibroid. The time difference between the two examinations was not long. Is the chance of misdiagnosis high?Doctor's answer:
First, during the careful examination, the fibroid was small and fell within an ignorable range, so the doctor didn't report it. Second, the fibroid reappeared after the careful examination. Due to the rise in progesterone during pregnancy, the fibroid would shrink and slow down in growth, which is quite evident. The doctor would then need to report it to you. As long as you have regular prenatal check-ups and follow the doctor's advice, it should be well-managed. In fact, having uterine fibroids is not at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as the condition is detected early and treated promptly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
