Patient's question:
Pregnancy was an accident. I didn't have a pre-pregnancy check-up before getting pregnant in a rush. At three months of pregnancy, I went to the hospital for the first time to have an ultrasound to check the fetal growth and development. The result showed that I had a uterine fibroid. There were no symptoms before pregnancy. The doctor said it's essential to have regular check-ups to see if the fibroid will grow. What are the hazards of pregnancy complicated with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Gestational uterine fibroids are a relatively common phenomenon, but their harmfulness is significant. When uterine fibroids are present during pregnancy, the growth rate of the fibroids is very rapid, and they are prone to recur. If gestational uterine fibroids recur during the late stage of pregnancy, they can easily lead to abnormal fetal positioning, which has a major impact on the pregnant woman. Typically, patients opt for cesarean section surgery.Uterine fibroid patients can, while understanding standard treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. It is essential to avoid extreme hunger or overeating in daily dietary habits and never indulge in binge eating.
