Does uterine fibroid surgery affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Dear doctors: I am a patient with uterine fibroids, intramural, size 3x3cm. Since I have not given birth yet, I have heard that it may affect pregnancy, so I am quite concerned. I came across radiofrequency minimally invasive ablation surgery online, which may be a possible treatment, so I would like to consult. Can someone in my condition undergo surgery? How long does it take, and how much does it cost? Is hospitalization required? I hope you can find time to answer my questions. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

If you have uterine fibroids, it is best to treat them before getting pregnant, because when the fibroids grow rapidly or undergo degeneration, their compressive effect can increase uterine contractions, reduce blood supply to the uterus, and alter the blood supply to the endometrium, which is not conducive to fetal development and may lead to natural or repeated miscarriages. Generally, if recovery is good after surgery, it is possible to regain normal ovulation and conceive after recovery.
