How big is a uterine fibroid to be considered serious? Is a uterine fibroid a benign tumor?

The appearance of uterine fibroids is undoubtedly a huge blow to women's health. Quite a few women have a relatively high incidence rate between the ages of 30 and 40. Many people think that uterine fibroids are not very serious, mainly depending on the size of the fibroids. How serious are uterine fibroids?

According to experts, uterine fibroids are common gynecological tumors, which are generally benign. In severe cases, they can have a great impact on women's childbirth. Therefore, early treatment is the key. Since some growth sites and sizes of uterine fibroids do not affect pregnancy, many friends do not receive treatment, which has little effect on the baby.

How serious are uterine fibroids?

Relevant experts said that generally speaking, if the uterine fibroids grow rapidly and the size exceeds 5.0cm, it is more serious. If this phenomenon is found, we should actively take treatment measures. If it is not treated in time and effectively, it will cause great harm to the female body, leading to female infertility, and easily cause infection and suppuration. Fibroid adhesion, free, and secondary anemia have a great impact on women's psychology and health.

If a woman has uterine fibroids in the uterus and the growth rate is still very fast, it will have a great impact on pregnancy. In the early stages of pregnancy, the presence of fibroids is not conducive to the implantation and growth of the fertilized egg, and the possibility of miscarriage is greatly increased. Often, the miscarriage is incomplete, resulting in more bleeding.

In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, large fibroids will hinder the movement of the baby in the uterus, making it easy for the fetus to be positioned incorrectly, with an increased incidence of hip and horizontal positions, and therefore an increased rate of cesarean sections. Deformation of the uterine cavity or mechanical obstruction of placental and fetal development can easily lead to premature birth. During delivery, fibroids affect the normal contraction of the uterus, causing contraction fatigue and prolonging the delivery process; fibroids can also block the fallopian tubes, which can easily lead to dystocia.
