Patient's question:
My sister has been married for five or six years, but she hasn't had any children yet. They haven't been breastfeeding either, always taking a "let nature take its course" approach. But now they're both turning thirty, and the pressure from the family is getting intense, so they really want a child. Yet, she keeps failing to get pregnant. Her menstrual cycle has always been unstable, and a check-up at the hospital revealed she has uterine fibroids. Do uterine fibroids affect a woman's ability to get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Women with uterine fibroids may be affected by infertility. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors in the female reproductive system, and the majority of them show no symptoms. In very few cases, they can cause changes in menstruation, often extended menstrual cycles, increased menstrual flow, prolonged periods, and irregular vaginal bleeding. This not only poses a threat to the physical and mental health of women with uterine fibroids but also often leads to secondary nerve tube inflammation of the ovaries and fallopian tubes, further impacting female infertility. If you want to have a baby, please seek treatment as soon as possible. The impact of uterine fibroids on patients is very significant. Once you notice any symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to dietary issues, with a focus on light and nutritious foods.
