What to do if uterine fibroids are detected in 8 weeks of pregnancy

Uterine fibroids are one of the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive organs and one of the most common tumors in the human body. They are also called fibroids and uterine fibroids. Because uterine fibroids are mainly composed of the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells and a small amount of fibrous connective tissue exists as supporting tissue, they are more accurately called uterine leiomyoma. They are also called uterine fibroids for short.

Most patients are asymptomatic and are only occasionally found during pelvic examination or ultrasound examination. If there are symptoms, they are closely related to the growth site, speed, degeneration and complications of the fibroids, and the size and number of the fibroids. People with multiple subserosal fibroids may have no symptoms, while smaller submucosal fibroids often cause irregular vaginal bleeding or menorrhagia.

Uterine bleeding is the main symptom of uterine fibroids, occurring in more than half of the patients. Cyclic bleeding is heavy, which may manifest as increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstruation, or shortened cycles. It may also manifest as irregular vaginal bleeding during the menstrual cycle. Submucosal fibroids and intramural fibroids are more common in uterine bleeding, while subserosal fibroids rarely cause uterine bleeding. Abdominal masses and compression symptoms Fibroids grow gradually. When the uterus is enlarged for more than 3 months or a large subserosal fibroid is located at the bottom of the uterus, the abdominal mass is often palpable, and the bladder filling is more obvious in the morning.

Generally speaking, uterine fibroids do not cause pain, but many patients may complain of lower abdominal swelling and back pain. Increased vaginal discharge Increased uterine cavity, increased endometrial glands, and pelvic congestion can increase vaginal discharge. Infertility and miscarriage Some patients with uterine fibroids are accompanied by infertility or prone to miscarriage. The impact on pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes may be related to the growth site, size, and number of fibroids.

Uterine fibroids do not grow after pregnancy. They are just not checked or discovered before pregnancy. As long as the fibroids are not submucosal fibroids, they will grow into the uterus and will not affect the pregnancy and the growth of the fetus throughout the pregnancy. Many people check for uterine fibroids after pregnancy. It does not affect the child. Check on time and remove them by cesarean section if necessary.
