Patient's question:
I want to ask if it is possible to get pregnant with uterine fibroids? I currently have small uterine fibroids, but they don't require surgery. If I get pregnant with uterine fibroids, will it have any impact on the fetus or myself?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors composed of fibrotic smooth muscle tissue of the uterus. Common symptoms include uterine bleeding, pain, abdominal masses, symptoms affecting adjacent organs, increased leukorrhea, anemia, and cardiac dysfunction. A small portion of patients show no symptoms and are often discovered during gynecological population screening. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign gynecological tumors, predominantly occurring in women aged 30-50. They can be classified into intramural, subserosal, submucosal, and intraligamentous fibroids based on their location within the uterine muscle wall.
