Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids can reduce a woman's fertility, but women with uterine fibroids can still become pregnant. The incidence of uterine fibroids during pregnancy accounts for 0.5%-1% of all fibroid patients. The impact of uterine fibroids on pregnancy and childbirth depends on the type and size of the fibroids. If the fibroids are large, they may affect a vaginal delivery, and it is also important to monitor for fibroid degeneration and symptoms such as fever during pregnancy. For patients with fibroids larger than the size of a 2.5-month pregnancy, or those with significant clinical symptoms, or those who do not respond well to conservative treatment and do not require preservation of fertility, hysterectomy may be considered.
