Many female patients experience symptoms of enlarged uterine fibroids after pregnancy, so some patients want to know the reason why uterine fibroids enlarge after pregnancy. The doctor said that it is because they should be treated as soon as possible.

1. After pregnancy, uterine fibroids increase with the gestational weeks: After pregnancy, due to the rich blood supply to the uterus, uterine fibroid tissue edema, smooth muscle cell hypertrophy, uterine fibroids increase accordingly, especially before 4 months of pregnancy, most uterine fibroids can be reduced.

2. Degeneration of uterine fibroids: Due to the rapid increase of uterine fibroids during pregnancy and insufficient functional uterine bleeding, degeneration occurs, among which red degeneration is common and the abdominal pain is severe.

3. Torsion of uterine fibroid pedicle: When pregnancy is combined with subserosal fibroids, as the uterus gradually grows larger, the pedicled subserosal fibroids are prone to pedicle torsion and severe abdominal pain.

Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in women, mainly formed by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells. Uterine fibroids growing in the lower uterus can cause dystocia, postpartum hemorrhage and other pregnancy abnormalities; uterine fibroids growing in the upper uterus do not affect delivery, are asymptomatic during pregnancy, and do not require treatment during pregnancy. However, if uterine fibroids degenerate during pregnancy, acute abdominal pain occurs, or the fibroids are located in the lower uterine segment, myomectomy, cesarean section, or hysterectomy may be required depending on the specific situation.

When uterine fibroids are combined with pregnancy, most pregnant women can successfully go through pregnancy and delivery. The best way for women to check uterine fibroids after pregnancy is not to treat them. The doctor should decide whether to continue the pregnancy based on their own situation. If they can continue the pregnancy, they should also go to the hospital regularly for pregnancy tests to confirm the pregnancy status. However, when patients with uterine fibroids give birth, the fibroid mass will affect uterine contraction, and then the labor process will be prolonged or delayed.
