Patient's question:
Got pregnant, I was very happy at the time, but when it came to the prenatal check-up, I was surprised to find that I had uterine fibroids. Can I still get pregnant with uterine fibroids? Will uterine fibroids affect the normal development of the child?Doctor's answer:
Most uterine fibroids are benign. They are the most common pelvic tumors in women. Up to 20% of women in their childbearing age may be found to have uterine fibroids. Fortunately, the majority of them are benign, with the chance of malignancy being less than 0.5%. Because uterine fibroids are more common in women of childbearing age, it is a topic that many expectant mothers must face when they are pregnant and have fibroids.Most uterine fibroids do not cause symptoms. Many women only learn they have uterine fibroids after an ultrasound during pregnancy. In fact, having uterine fibroids is not (terrible). Patients should believe they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
