Ms. Xiao is 30 years old, married for 3 years, and has no children. After going to the hospital for a checkup, Ms. Xiao found that she had uterine fibroids. Because the fibroids grow under the mucosa, they prevent sperm from entering the fallopian tubes, leading to infertility. Experts say that it is not uncommon in clinical practice to find patients with uterine fibroids before or during pregnancy, so why do some fibroids affect pregnancy and some do not? This mainly depends on the location, size and number of fibroid growth. Generally speaking, subserous fibroids have little effect on pregnancy, but the proportion of submucosal infertility is relatively high because submucosal fibroids can hinder the implantation of fertilized eggs. So, if a woman with fibroids can successfully get pregnant, will everything be fine? The answer is no, because women with uterine fibroids are prone to miscarriage in early pregnancy because it is not conducive to the implantation and development of eggs; in mid-pregnancy, some patients may experience red degeneration, leading to severe abdominal pain; during delivery, if uterine fibroids grow in the lower uterus, it may hinder the birth of the fetus and lead to dystocia. Therefore, women with uterine fibroids must go to the hospital for regular examinations and reexaminations after pregnancy. For patients who are found to have uterine fibroids during pregnancy, doctors will differentiate treatments based on the month of pregnancy, size of the fibroids, and clinical manifestations. For example, in early pregnancy, the main purpose is to prevent threatened abortion. When pregnant women experience symptoms of threatened abortion such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, they should immediately stay in bed to rest, reduce their mental burden, strengthen their nutrition, and take necessary fetal safety measures. In late pregnancy, if the long position of the fibroids affects the birth of the fetus or the fibroids degenerate, a cesarean section should be performed immediately. At the same time, it can be decided whether to remove the fibroids or all of the uterus together according to the situation. |
