Patient's question:
I've been feeling unwell for a long time, but due to the busy schedule of training, I kept putting off getting a thorough check-up. Since I'm about to get married to my boyfriend, I underwent a pre-marital health examination and found a uterine fibroid. I've already had the removal 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 underwent 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 you can try to conceive. Otherwise, early pregnancy may lead to the possibility of uterine rupture and severe bleeding.
