Patient's question:
I discovered fibroids during my pre-pregnancy check-up a few weeks ago. The results: Anteriorly positioned uterus with abnormal shape 8.6x6.0x6.5, endometrial thickness of 1.2, heterogeneous echoes, and an anterior wall extrusion of the uterus—solid low-echo nodules, size 5.7x5.8, regular shape. Bilateral ovaries are present. Could you please tell me if uterine fibroids affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
It's not entirely impossible to get pregnant with a tumor, but there is a possibility that the fibroids may shrink and degenerate during pregnancy. In very rare cases, surgery may be required during pregnancy. For your current condition, laparoscopic removal is more suitable for safety. The duration of breastfeeding after surgery will be determined based on the intraoperative situation. It's best to treat the condition first before getting pregnant. Additionally, for patients with uterine fibroids during treatment, diet and care are also very important. Patients must digest vitamins, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
