Patient's question:
Uterine fibroids were detected, and it was said that they were a bit large. Later, it was checked and found that the uterine fibroids were still subserosal.Doctor's answer:
First, it affects ovulation function by compressing the cavity. Myomas growing within the broad ligament can cause the fallopian tube, which is covered by them, to be elongated and twisted. This condition can obstruct the fallopian tube or lead to ovarian displacement, widening the distance between the ovary and the fallopian tube, thereby directly hindering the fimbriae's function of picking up oocytes.Second, it affects the combination of sperm and egg. The seminal pool near the posterior fornix can be compressed by uterine fibroids growing in the cervix, which can obstruct the passage or alter the orientation of the cervical canal, making it difficult for sperm to enter the cervix.
Third, it prevents the fertilized egg from implanting, as if a spherical intrauterine device (IUD) were placed within the uterine cavity. Submucosal uterine fibroids growing in the uterine cavity hinder fertility. Additionally, ischemia, necrosis, or atrophy of the endometrium on the surface of the uterine cavity is unfavorable for the implantation of the fertilized egg.
