Patient's question:
There are some questions I would like to ask everyone. If you have uterine fibroids and experience stomach pain during pregnancy, what should you do?Doctor's answer:
Some women may experience mild abdominal pain again after pregnancy due to the continuous growth of the fetus, which increases the pressure on the uterine wall. This type of pain is normal and there is no need to panic excessively.During pregnancy, hormonal changes in the pregnant woman's body make it easier for uterine fibroids to undergo red degeneration. This leads to severe edema of the fibroid cells, the formation of thrombi within the large veins inside the pseudocapsule and small veins within the tumor, widespread bleeding, and consequently, severe abdominal pain in the pregnant woman, accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and fever.
Additionally, if the fibroid is pedunculated, it may also undergo torsion, which can also cause very severe pain.
In summary, during pregnancy, uterine fibroids generally do not cause pain unless they undergo red degeneration or peduncular torsion. Pregnant women need to undergo regular medical examinations at the hospital.
