Can you still have a child if you have uterine fibroids during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Can a woman still have children if she has uterine fibroids during pregnancy, and will it affect the child?

Doctor's answer:

For many women, they only discover they have uterine fibroids after becoming pregnant. In this case, the first thing to do is to relax. Don't overthink about uterine fibroids, because in most cases, when uterine fibroids are combined with pregnancy, the pregnant woman can still give birth smoothly. If the fibroids become too large later and affect delivery, a cesarean section can also be used for delivery. During the surgery, the decision on whether to remove the fibroids simultaneously will be made based on the specific situation.
