What are the dangers of having uterine fibroids during pregnancy?

The cause of uterine fibroids is still unclear. If you are found to have uterine fibroids but not treated in time, it may lead to female infertility, miscarriage, frequent urination, urination disorders and other hazards. So, let us follow the experts to look at the specific harm that uterine fibroids can cause to women.

1. If submucosal fibroids or large intramyometrial fibroids appear during pregnancy, it will hinder the movement of the fetus in the uterus, causing malpositions such as transverse presentation and breech presentation, and increase the rate of cesarean section, which is harmful to the body.

2. Uterine fibroids during pregnancy may cause miscarriage due to insufficient blood supply to the developing embryo. The probability of this happening is very high, and most cases are incomplete miscarriages, causing great harm to the pregnant woman's body and mind.

3. If the fibroids are incarcerated in the pelvic cavity, they can block the birth canal and may cause dystocia.

4. Uterine fibroids during pregnancy will increase the difficulty of delivery because the fibroids will affect the normal contraction of the uterus and prolong the delivery process.
