Patient's question:
I've been divorced for over a year and haven't been breastfeeding, but I haven't gotten pregnant either. The elders in the family are anxious to have a grandchild and urge us to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. My husband had a sperm test, which came back normal. My gynecologist found a uterine fibroid in my uterus. Does a uterine fibroid affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a factor that can affect pregnancy. For women with uterine fibroids who want to have children, it is important to consider the size of the fibroids, their location of growth, and their growth rate. If you have undergone a thorough examination and the doctor tells you that the location of the fibroids will not affect pregnancy, then uterine fibroids should not be the primary factor, and further investigation into the causes of infertility is necessary. Additionally, during the treatment of uterine fibroids, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient must ensure adequate vitamin intake, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
