Patient's question:
I have uterine fibroids. My period arrived on October 10th, and I didn't use any contraception from October 20th to the early 20s. Now, I've taken a pregnancy test and it shows I'm pregnant. When I had an ultrasound, they didn't see a gestational sac. The fibroids are quite large, measuring 5.4x4 cm. Could they interfere with the fetus? I'm 36 years old and haven't given birth before. If the pregnancy is normal, can I deliver this baby smoothly?Doctor's answer:
Based on your purchase, the positive test paper suggests a high possibility of pregnancy. Since you have uterine fibroids located in the muscular wall of the uterus, they do not significantly interfere with conception. It is recommended to have a blood test to check HCG levels to confirm pregnancy. The absence of a visible gestational sac on ultrasound is likely due to the short time since fertilization. It is advised to repeat the ultrasound in one week for careful observation. Conduct a systematic examination and prepare accordingly. If the baby develops normally, it is healthy and can be delivered smoothly. During pregnancy, regularly visit a formal hospital under the guidance of a specialist doctor to ensure a successful pregnancy.
