What are the dangers of multiple uterine fibroids? Will multiple uterine fibroids lead to infertility?

It is generally believed that multiple uterine fibroids are related to ectopic hormones produced by the tumor. If patients with multiple uterine fibroids have no obvious symptoms and no signs of malignant changes, they can be followed up regularly. So, what are the dangers of multiple uterine fibroids?

Multiple uterine fibroids can increase the frequency, range, and duration of uterine contractions above the normal baseline, interfering with fertilized egg implantation or causing miscarriage after implantation. When fibroids are accompanied by uterine periosteal proliferation, it means that the ovaries do not ovulate, and fibroids can cause uterine bleeding, infection, and blockage of fallopian tubes, which can cause infertility.

Uterine fibroids growing in the cervix will compress the cervical canal, block the passage or change the direction of the cervix, making it away from the semen pool in the posterior fornix, which is not conducive to sperm entering the cervix. Uterine fibroids growing under the mucosa of the uterine cavity are like placing a spherical intrauterine device in the uterine cavity to hinder fertility. The ischemia, necrosis and atrophy of the endometrium on the surface of the uterine cavity are also not conducive to the implantation of the fertilized egg.

Multiple uterine fibroids are serious and require surgical treatment. Surgical treatment of uterine fibroids includes myomectomy and hysterectomy, which can be performed through the abdomen, vagina, or endoscopy (hysteroscopy or laparoscopy). The choice of surgery and surgical method depends on factors such as the patient's age, fertility requirements, size of the fibroids, growth location, and medical technology conditions.

From the above analysis, it can be seen that for the safety of patient treatment, it is recommended to take appropriate treatment methods under the guidance of a doctor. The above is an introduction to the relevant content, and I hope it will be helpful to patients and friends.
