Patient's question:
I had lower abdominal pain at the beginning of the year, and during AA, I felt discomfort between my legs. My menstrual cycle was irregular, and I also experienced symptoms like feeling cold. After a thorough examination, I found out I had uterine fibroids, which are benign, but the doctor said they would affect pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
This disease can be cured with active treatment. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women, and the infertility rate among women with uterine fibroids can reach 30-40%, which is significantly lower than the general population's infertility rate. Among these, submucosal fibroids can affect sperm passage and embryo implantation, while intramural fibroids not only affect childbirth but also often lead to stillbirths or premature birth. Even if childbirth is possible, during the late stages of pregnancy, abnormal uterine contractions can lead to premature birth, obstructed labor, or postpartum hemorrhage. The reasons for infertility caused by uterine fibroids are often due to the fibroid blocking the sperm passage or occupying the site where the fertilized egg implants, making it impossible for pregnancy to occur. It is recommended to actively treat the condition under the guidance of a specialist doctor and wait until fully cured before starting to prepare for pregnancy.
