How to handle uterine fibroids during pregnancy

Patient's question:

I've been trying to get pregnant for a long time, and now I finally got pregnant. During the prenatal check-up, I found out that I have a uterine fibroid. What should I do if I have a uterine fibroid while pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

If the uterine fibroid is very small, it is generally absolutely unlikely to cause any interference. However, if it is larger than 5 cm, or if it is accompanied by symptoms such as skin breakdown in the lower body, or in cases of submucosal uterine fibroids, timely treatment is necessary. Pay close attention to prenatal examinations, and avoid sexual activity for the first three months. Rest more during the day, avoid strenuous exercise, and if abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding occurs again, seek medical attention promptly to prevent the fibroid from undergoing red degeneration.
