Is uterine fibroids always require a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

My friend is already 36 weeks pregnant. During the ultrasound at 35 weeks, the doctor said that fibroids were blocking the cervix.

Doctor's answer:

If there is already a uterine fibroid blocking the cervix, it is definitely necessary to have a cesarean section. Otherwise, if the fibroid is blocking the cervix, the child cannot be delivered smoothly, which may lead to uterine rupture. Therefore, it is recommended that you should undergo a cesarean section in your current condition. It is best not to take the risk. Moreover, fibroids that block the cervix are usually three centimeters or larger, so surgery is still the better option, as it can also remove the fibroids.
In addition to timely medical treatment for a cesarean section, patients should maintain a positive attitude and face the disease head-on. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment.
