Patient's question:
Expert, thank you for your trouble. I just got married and am planning to have a check-up before having children. However, during the thorough examination, I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. Should I get pregnant first or have surgery first? Can I do without surgery? How long should I wait after surgery to have children?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are recommended to be treated first with targeted therapy. If surgical indications are met, surgery should be performed first. This is because after pregnancy, hormonal levels in the body may fluctuate, potentially stimulating the rapid growth of uterine fibroids. This is beneficial for your health. At least one year should pass after surgery before considering pregnancy, which helps promote healthy and optimal reproduction. The complete recovery of the uterus takes at least one year. During this period, it is essential to take proper contraceptive measures.
