Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am now seven months pregnant and I am very looking forward to the baby's arrival. However, unfortunately, I went for a prenatal check-up yesterday and was carefully diagnosed with uterine fibroids. I would like to ask, what are the effects of uterine fibroids on the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have uterine fibroids during pregnancy and they are relatively large in size, it is indeed possible that they may affect miscarriage or preterm labor. Currently, do you have any uncomfortable symptoms? If the size is less than 5.0 cm, there is no need to worry excessively, as it will definitely not be affected. During pregnancy, pay attention to irregular ultrasound follow-ups to understand the condition of the fibroids, as there is a possibility of fibroid degeneration. At the same time, pay attention to irregular prenatal check-ups to understand the baby's growth and development in a timely manner.
