Patient's question:
My sister is pregnant. The whole family accompanied her for a thorough examination. The doctor said she has uterine fibroids and we are very worried about her. We want to know if uterine fibroids in the mother will affect the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Sister is pregnant and got a thorough examination at the hospital, which revealed uterine fibroids. If the fibroids are very small and do not decrease significantly during pregnancy, they will absolutely not affect the fetus and there is no need to worry too much. If the fibroids are somewhat large or prone to occurring, they may affect the fetus. In such cases, one can consider surgery first or undergo regular follow-up examinations. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
