Does a small uterine fibroid detected during a 16-week ultrasound examination affect the fetus?

Patient's question:

Left and right, at 8 weeks, ultrasound examination did not detect anything. Two months before pregnancy, there was an ovarian corpus luteum cyst, which has been cured.

Doctor's answer:

Small uterine fibroids do not affect the fetus, so you don't need to worry. Many people in your situation are fine. You can have a cesarean section, and the fibroid can be removed along with the uterus during the surgery. If you meet the conditions for a vaginal birth, you can also choose that option, but the fibroid will still need to be removed later through a cesarean section. It's better to address it all at once.
Lifestyle Care: Follow your regular diet. Don’t make any special dietary changes just because of the fibroid. As long as the baby is healthy, that’s what matters. Wishing you and your baby good health.
Women with uterine fibroids can use home remedies as supplementary treatment while understanding the need for targeted medication. In daily life, avoid extreme hunger or overeating, and never binge on food.
