What symptoms will appear after pregnancy with uterine fibroids? Will uterine fibroids cause postpartum bleeding?

A patient with uterine fibroids asks: What happens if I get pregnant with uterine fibroids?

The doctor's answer: During pregnancy, most uterine fibroids will grow rapidly, causing symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and fever. If uterine fibroids are combined with incorrect fetal position in late pregnancy, contraction fatigue and dystocia may occur during delivery.

Uterine fibroid pregnancy is determined by the type and occurrence of uterine fibroids. From the perspective of clinical classification, if the uterine fibroid is located in the uterine muscle wall and is surrounded by the myometrium, it is called intramural uterine fibroid; if the intramural uterine fibroid protrudes to the surface of the uterus and contacts the serosa, it is called subserosal uterine fibroid; if the intramural uterine fibroid protrudes into the uterine cavity and contacts the mucosa, it is called submucosal uterine fibroid.

Uterine fibroids can be single, but most occur at the same time. If there are multiple uterine fibroids at the same time, it is called multiple uterine fibroids. The medical community believes that small intramural uterine fibroids and subserous uterine fibroids generally do not affect pregnancy and do not increase the incidence of miscarriage, but uterine fibroids can cause the pregnant uterus to be retroflexed and incarcerated, leading to urinary retention and miscarriage. Subserous uterine fibroids can hinder the implantation of fertilized eggs and increase miscarriage or infertility after pregnancy.

In addition, uterine fibroids can also lead to poor uterine contraction and postpartum hemorrhage after childbirth. It can be seen that the impact of uterine fibroids on fertility is multifaceted and depends on the specific circumstances of the disease.

Warm reminder: All young women, as long as their fallopian tubes are smooth and they have no other diseases that affect their fertility, can undergo ultrasonic ablation to treat uterine fibroids and preserve their uterus, or they can become pregnant and give birth.
