Patient's question:
Health Consultation Description: Planning to have a baby, menstrual period on July 24, lasted for 5 days, did a pre-pregnancy test on August 6. Ultrasound findings: Medium-sized echogenic nodule detected on the anterior wall of the uterine cavity, size 0.660.55cm, uterus is anteriorly positioned, size 4.13.83.3cm, endometrial thickness 0.7cm "showing three lines," uterine wall echoes are uniform. The doctor said it might be an endometrial polyp. Does the uterine polyp interfere with conception? I would like to seek advice from professionals. Will this affect delivery? Will it affect fetal growth and development if I deliver? I am very anxious and would appreciate your assistance: Does the uterine polyp interfere with conception?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common solid benign tumors in the female reproductive system. Uterine fibroids are composed of smooth musclefibrosis and can grow as a single or multiple lesions of varying sizes. The etiology of uterine fibroids is still unclear, but the majority believe it is related to excessive estrogen exposure in the body. The incidence of infertility in patients with uterine fibroids is approximately 22~32%, with submucosal fibroids having the highest rate of infertility. Uterine fibroids can be classified based on their recurrence location into subserosal fibroids, intramural uterine fibroids, submucosal uterine fibroids, cervical fibroids, ligament fibroids, etc. Generally, small or solitary subserosal and intramural uterine fibroids do not interfere with delivery and early pregnancy. Therefore, you can implement effective examination and treatment based on your specific condition. Uterine fibroids generally do not interfere with delivery.
