Patient's question:
I am in my first pregnancy and now I am four months pregnant. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and had an ultrasound. The doctor said I have uterine fibroids, and the fetus is developing normally. I am worried that the fibroids will affect the baby's growth. Do uterine fibroids affect fetal development?Doctor's answer:
Symptomatic uterine fibroids do not require treatment and can be managed with periodic follow-up examinations. If there are no symptoms or the fibroids are very small, they generally do not need to be addressed. Pregnancy is usually not a problem, so there is no need to worry excessively. In addition to medication for treating uterine fibroids, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure good treatment outcomes.
