Patient's question:
A relative of a friend was previously not feeling well and underwent a thorough examination at the hospital, where it was diagnosed as a uterine fibroid. They had surgery and now want to have a second child. Therefore, they want to understand how long it takes to get pregnant after a uterine fibroid removal surgery.Doctor's answer:
Uterine leiomyomas can be classified into several types, such as subserous uterine leiomyomas, intramural uterine leiomyomas, and submucous uterine leiomyomas. If it is a subserous leiomyoma excision, it will never cause harm to the uterine muscle layer and will never interfere with early pregnancy. If it is a uterine leiomyoma resection, it will cause muscle damage, equivalent to the trauma of a cesarean section. Therefore, the second child had to be born more than a year after the surgery. Thus, the duration of fertility after uterine leiomyoma resection determines the specific condition of your uterine leiomyoma. Uterine leiomyomas are benign gynecological tumors, mainly caused by excessive hormones in the body, with a low possibility of malignancy.
