Uterine fibroids are tumor-like growths in the uterus. 30% to 50% of women over 30 years old may be found to have uterine fibroids. Fibroids vary in size and location, so problems during pregnancy may also vary.

Although most pregnant women can go through pregnancy and delivery smoothly, some pregnant women are still prone to complications. Therefore, women with fibroids should go to the hospital for examination in time after pregnancy, and have prenatal examinations and follow-up on time. Intervention in patients with uterine fibroids in the early stages of pregnancy can easily lead to miscarriage. It is recommended to wait until the second quarter. If the fibroids are large, it is estimated that the possibility of complications of continued pregnancy is greater. Patients may need to undergo artificial abortion to terminate pregnancy, short-term specialist uterine fibroid removal, or uterine fibroid removal at the same time.

Since uterine fibroids tend to grow larger in the second trimester, if the size of the fibroids exceeds 5 cm in early pregnancy, you should pay attention to the risk of miscarriage and premature birth. Some cases also require rest. In addition, if there are fibroids near the placenta, please pay more attention to whether the placenta functions normally.

The treatment recommendation for uterine fibroids in late pregnancy is that it is not recommended to treat small fibroids. For tumors larger than 8cm in diameter but asymptomatic, cesarean section can be expected, and myomectomy can be performed at the same time. Because large uterine fibroids not only affect uterine contraction, disorder and prolonged productivity, but also affect postpartum placenta, postpartum hemorrhage and postpartum infection in normal pregnancy. In some cases, due to postpartum hemorrhage and postpartum infection, or forced uterine removal, it may also be difficult to control. Therefore, the cesarean section mode is appropriate for cesarean section myomectomy.

During pregnancy, pregnant women should maintain a relaxed state of mind, which is beneficial to the baby's growth and development or disease.
