Does uterine fibroids affect future fertility?

Patient's question:

I've been married to my husband for two years and have been thinking about having a child. However, after undergoing a thorough examination, the doctor said that my uterus has fibroids. They have prescribed many medications for me to take care of it, but the doctor also said that further observation is needed. Now, I'm very worried that it might interfere with conception.

Doctor's answer:

If the fibroid is too large, it is recommended to have the uterine fibroid removed first and then conceive after recovery. If there is a submucosal fibroid, it should be removed first under hysteroscopy before conception. For women with uterine fibroids who experience early pregnancy loss, experienced doctors should be consulted for diagnosis, regular prenatal examinations should be conducted, appropriate treatment plans and delivery methods should be formulated, and how to remove the fibroid during a cesarean section should be determined. This can also prevent recurrence of miscarriage, postpartum hemorrhage, malposition of the fetus, and uterine rupture. Uterine fibroids pose significant harm to patients, and dietary issues should be given high attention, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that patients with uterine fibroids can receive professional treatment.
