Patient's question:
How do uterine fibroids interfere with early pregnancy? I quit my job last month and plan to focus on taking care of my husband's impending delivery next year. Last week, my husband and I went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. I found out I have uterine fibroids. I was terrified. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I'm worried this will interfere with my pregnancy. Do uterine fibroids interfere with early pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if uterine fibroids are less than 3 cm during early pregnancy, clinical diagnosis of labor is successful. There are also cases of early pregnancy miscarriage accompanied by tumors. Mainly, it is the competition between uterine fibroids and fetal nutrition that makes it difficult to predict how fibroids grow faster or slower than the fetus. Therefore, during early pregnancy, strict monitoring is required, and regular examinations of uterine fibroids should be conducted to minimize adverse reactions. If the leiomyoma is larger than 5 cm, after treatment, it is still in early pregnancy. The least harmful method to oneself must be decided.
