Whether patients with uterine fibroids can get pregnant is a concern for many patients with uterine fibroids of childbearing age. Uterine fibroids have a great impact on women's pregnancy. Fibroids affect the implantation of the gestational egg and the development of the placenta, leading to placenta previa, placental abruption and placental adhesion. If the fibroids restrict the movement of the fetus in the uterus, the fetal position will be abnormal; if the fibroids hinder the connection of the fetus to be exposed first, the fetal membrane will rupture early, and the fibroids behind the placenta will bleed.

Uterine fibroids can affect the entry of sperm into the uterine cavity. Submucosal fibroids can easily infect the endometrium, which is not conducive to the implantation of fertilized eggs. Giant multiple uterine fibroids can easily squeeze the interstitial part of the fallopian tube, hindering the passage of sperm, leading to infertility, and having a certain impact on female fertility.
