Patient's question:
After discussing it with my husband, we decided to have a child now. But when I went to the hospital last year for a gynecological examination, I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. Currently, I am taking medication for treatment. I want to have a child now, and for the child's growth and development, I want to know if it is possible to get pregnant with uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids do not affect pregnancy, and most can naturally go into labor. However, submucosal fibroids and larger intramural fibroids can alter the shape of the uterine cavity, increasing the rates of miscarriage and premature birth. Postpartum, fibroids can affect uterine contraction, leading to excessive bleeding. If fibroids obstruct the birth canal, it may result in dystocia.For early pregnancy fibroids, comprehensive prevention and treatment for miscarriage should be noted. Hospitalize early for delivery at full term. If fibroids obstruct the birth canal, a cesarean section is determined. Postpartum, comprehensive prevention and treatment for bleeding should be emphasized.
Uterine fibroids are a disease that is difficult to cure. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating uterine fibroids and believe that recovery is certain.
