Patient's question:
My physical condition isn't very good, and I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant. I suddenly found out I have a 6 cm uterine fibroid. I want to get a re-examination at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Medical University. Which department should I go to if I have a uterine fibroid? Gynecology or Obstetrics?Doctor's answer:
Before the 12th week of pregnancy, it is usually seen by a gynecologist, and after that, it is seen by an obstetrician. Since I am already 30 weeks pregnant, the prenatal check-ups and related tests that need to be done at this time are to make an appointment with an obstetrician. In fact, having uterine fibroids is not terrible at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as the symptoms are detected in time and symptomatic treatment is provided, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
