Patient's question:
I have been feeling unwell for a long time, but due to the busy schedule of training, I kept postponing getting a thorough check-up. Since I am about to get married to my boyfriend, I underwent a pre-marital examination and found a uterine fibroid. I have already had an extraction surgery done. Can I still get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you are currently 26 years old. The marriage examination revealed a uterine fibroid. You have undergone a uterine fibroid removal surgery. I don't know whether your fibroid is intramural, subserosal, or submucosal. If it is intramural, you need to rest for a year to allow the uterine muscle layer to fully recover before getting pregnant. If it is a subserosal or submucosal fibroid, the contraception period can be around one year before preparing for pregnancy. Otherwise, early pregnancy may lead to the possibility of uterine rupture and severe bleeding.
