Patient's question:
When I went for a pre-pregnancy health check last month, I was told that I had uterine fibroids. I was very upset about it. I had been planning to have a child. But after getting this condition, I became afraid to have one, worried about potential impacts. However, my family members, who don't know about it, keep urging me to have children. I wonder if uterine fibroids affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
There will be some impact. Uterine cervical fibroids and fibroids within the uterine cervical canal can block the uterine cervical canal, affecting sperm penetration; uterine body fibroids can control the fallopian tubes or twist them, affecting the injection of oocytes, hindering the reunion of oocytes and sperm; fibroids growing toward the uterine cavity can deform the uterine cavity, preventing the implantation of the fertilized egg. Additionally, uterine fibroids may also lead to habitual abortion. When patients face the impact of uterine fibroids, we should actively implement careful examination and treatment, and not avoid seeking medical attention. If uterine fibroids are not cured for a long time, it is necessary to promptly switch treatment plans.
