Why does uterine fibroids grow during cesarean section? What should I do if uterine fibroids are found during cesarean section?

Cesarean section is a common cesarean section method, often used in cases of difficult labor or fetal development abnormalities. With the popularization of cesarean section, some potential risks and complications have also emerged, including the formation of uterine fibroids.

Why does uterine fibroids grow after cesarean section?

Caesarean section causes a certain degree of damage to the uterine tissue, such as the incision and suture during the operation, as well as the healing process after the operation. These injuries stimulate the abnormal growth of uterine tissue and may lead to the formation of fibroids.

During the recovery period after a cesarean section, women may receive hormone therapy for a period of time to help the uterus heal. However, hormone therapy may have an effect on uterine tissue and further promote the growth of fibroids.

What should I do if uterine fibroids are discovered during cesarean section?

During a cesarean section, if doctors discover the presence of fibroids in the uterus, they usually make appropriate decisions based on the specific situation.

If the fibroid is small and located away from the surgical instrumentation area, your doctor may decide to keep the fibroid and proceed with the cesarean section. However, if the fibroid is large or located close to the surgical instrumentation area, your doctor may decide to remove the fibroid during the same surgery.

There are many ways to remove uterine fibroids, such as laparoscopic surgery, hysteroscopy, or traditional laparotomy. The doctor will choose the appropriate surgical method based on the size and location of the fibroids and the patient's specific situation.

Although the discovery of uterine fibroids during cesarean section may increase the difficulty and risk of the operation, timely removal of the fibroids can reduce possible postoperative complications and aid in the patient's recovery.

Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological tumor, a benign tumor formed by the growth of smooth muscle cells in the myometrium. It usually occurs in women of childbearing age and in most cases does not cause symptoms or problems. However, in some cases, fibroids may cause infertility, abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain or other gynecological diseases. Therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment of uterine fibroids is very important to protect women's reproductive health.

In summary, cesarean section may lead to the formation of uterine fibroids, so it is very important to detect and treat uterine fibroids in time during surgery. The doctor will make appropriate decisions based on the specific situation to ensure the safety and recovery of the patient.
