Can I have this uterine fibroid removed when I give birth?

Patient's question:

Hello! I am currently 35 weeks pregnant, and I have a uterine fibroid that is 8 cm in size at the cervix. May I have the uterine fibroid removed during childbirth? Note that I have already given birth to two children, and my first child was delivered via C-section.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your situation, with a history of cesarean section and uterine fibroid removal, the current prolonged menstruation after taking medication may be considered a symptom caused by physical weakness, a qi deficiency that fails to hold the blood. Qi deficiency cannot solidify the blood, leading to uncontrolled blood flow and prolonged, intermittent bleeding. Given that you previously had uterine fibroid symptoms, it is best to have an ultrasound examination.
Advice: It is recommended to focus on nurturing your body, and if necessary, undergo an ultrasound examination to check the uterus for any other abnormalities.
