Is an unexpected pregnancy with uterine fibroids a big problem?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids last year. At that time, the fibroids were not very large, and the doctor said it was not necessary to have surgery, just to take some traditional Chinese medicine, Guizhi Fuling Pill. But last week, I found out that I was unexpectedly pregnant. How should I be treated for uterine fibroids and unexpected pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, an unintended pregnancy is not a problem. It mainly depends on how you think about it. If you were already trying for a second child, then regular follow-up tests after pregnancy would suffice. If you have no intention of getting pregnant again, there are several options for terminating an early pregnancy, such as medication-induced miscarriage or a D&C procedure. One of these methods will be suitable for you. After the early pregnancy is resolved, it's also important to monitor whether the fibroid is growing.
