Patient's question:
Got pregnant, I was very happy at the time, but when it came to 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 years may be found to have uterine fibroids. Fortunately, the majority 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 diagnosed with fibroids during pregnancy.
Most uterine fibroids do not cause symptoms, and many women only discover they have them after an ultrasound during pregnancy. In fact, having uterine fibroids is not (terrible). Patients should believe they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
