Patient's question:
I am in my first pregnancy and currently 4 months pregnant. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and an ultrasound. The doctor said I have uterine fibroids, but the fetus is developing normally. I am worried that the fibroids might affect the baby's growth. Do uterine fibroids affect fetal development?Doctor's answer:
Symptomatic uterine fibroids may not require treatment, and regular follow-up checks are sufficient. If there are no symptoms or the fibroids are very small, they generally do not need to be addressed. There are usually no significant issues during pregnancy, 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 also choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good treatment outcome.
