Patient's question:
I have uterine fibroids, but now I am pregnant. Ultrasound shows a 1921 mm hypoechoic nodule on the anterior wall, with clear boundaries and protruding outside the uterus. Inside the uterine cavity, there is a strong echo ring of about 1011 mm, with anechoic inside, and no fetal bud is seen. Can I keep this child while having uterine fibroids and being pregnant?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your uterine fibroid should be a subserosal fibroid, which grows outside the uterus and is only 1011mm in size. As long as the fibroid decreases in size, it will not have a significant impact on the fetus inside the uterus. However, since you are pregnant, your estrogen levels will decrease, which may cause the fibroid to grow. It is recommended that you have regular follow-up examinations.No embryonic node was found in your uterus. It is suggested that you have a follow-up ultrasound examination after a week for a thorough check. Additionally, in the future, it is important to have regular check-ups and not to be too anxious.
For severe cases of uterine fibroids, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately. Follow the doctor's advice for immediate treatment and do not change medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
