Patient's question:
Because I have been busy with my career, I never thought about having children. Now that I feel it's the right time, but I don't have any children around me, it doesn't feel like a complete family. When I see other people's children, I really want to have one. But when I think about having children, I carefully checked and found that I have uterine fibroids. Now I am taking traditional Chinese medicine to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, approximately 25% of women with uterine fibroids are infertile. The reason may be due to fibroids obstructing the implantation of the fertilized egg, or due to the blocked fallopian tube opening in the uterine cavity preventing sperm from entering the fallopian tubes. If fibroids reach the serosal layer, they cause less interference during early pregnancy. It is relatively dangerous to become pregnant with uterine fibroids because the tumors may change during pregnancy—some may shift in position, some may grow in size, and some may cause abdominal pain and uterine contractions due to thrombosis after pregnancy. Therefore, it is recommended that patients undergo treatment before attempting to conceive.
