Patient's question:
Is uterine fibroids serious? What impact will it have on the body? Can it be left untreated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, women with uterine fibroids can become pregnant if the size of the fibroids is less than 4 centimeters in diameter. However, if the fibroids have grown beyond 4 centimeters in diameter before pregnancy, or if they enlarge during pregnancy, leading to degeneration and increasing the risk of miscarriage or premature birth; or if the fibroids are less than 4 centimeters in diameter but are located in an unfavorable position, such as within the uterine cavity, on the cervix, or compressing the fallopian tubes, affecting fertility, it is best to have the fibroids surgically removed before becoming pregnant.
