Do uterine fibroids affect pregnancy?

Generally, it is necessary to judge based on the size and location of the uterine fibroids. If the patient's uterine fibroids are small and there is no physical discomfort, it will generally not affect pregnancy. If the patient's uterine fibroids are large or grow in a special location, such as submucosal fibroids, it will generally affect pregnancy.

Whether uterine fibroids affect pregnancy:

1. It will not affect pregnancy: If the patient's uterine fibroids are small, and the site where the uterine fibroids grow is close to the outside of the uterine cavity, or close to the serosa, and the patient does not have any discomfort symptoms, it generally will not affect pregnancy.

2. It will affect pregnancy: If the patient's uterine fibroids are large and belong to submucosal fibroids and intramural fibroids, it may affect women's pregnancy. Submucosal fibroids will penetrate into the uterine cavity, causing abnormal uterine bleeding and irregular menstruation, which can cause miscarriage, difficulty in pregnancy or infertility in women. The growth direction of intramural fibroids is generally toward the uterus, which may hinder the successful implantation of the fertilized egg into the endometrium, causing women to have difficulty in pregnancy or even infertility.

Things to note about uterine fibroids:

It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for examination to determine the severity of the disease, and choose a suitable method for targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment, they should follow the doctor's advice. Patients should also develop good living habits.
