Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and fear the cold. Can an uterine fibroid affect the insertion of an IUD?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, women with uterine fibroids can have an IUD inserted. However, if the fibroids are too large, causing the uterus to deform, it may be difficult to insert an IUD. Therefore, it is usually not recommended. It is advised that women with uterine fibroids, if they need an IUD, should have an ultrasound first to determine the size of the fibroids before making a decision. Since you have already discovered that your fibroids are not large, there should be no impact on inserting an IUD.
