Patient's question:
I had already started preparing before, but I haven't been pregnant yet. I suspect it's due to uterine fibroids. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor recommended that I not consider pregnancy for now and focus on treating the uterine fibroids first.Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, it is necessary to monitor data on the growth of uterine fibroids because the uterine blood supply is very rich after pregnancy. Fibroids grow relatively rapidly during early pregnancy. In addition to one possibility of a problem reappearing during early pregnancy, called red degeneration of fibroids, it is essential to closely monitor the growth of fibroids after pregnancy. Also, if any discomfort occurs, it is important to follow up promptly. The recurrence of uterine fibroids is most common between the ages of 30 and 50, especially in women who are infertile. The incidence of uterine fibroids is much lower than its actual incidence.
