What should women with uterine fibroids do if they want to have children?

Many women in life suffer from uterine fibroids. Because this situation brings a lot of trouble to people's lives, if women want to have children, will this disease have a certain impact?

Don't be too nervous. Fibroids are very common. According to statistics, 10% of women have the possibility of growing fibroids. So whether to treat fibroids, first understand whether there are symptoms. If there are menstrual, anemia or compression symptoms, no matter how big the fibroids are, the fibroids should be removed. The specific surgical method should be determined based on the examination results. In most cases, fibroids have no symptoms. The next step is to understand the size of the fibroids and fertility.

In general, according to the experience of experts, fibroids are usually more than 4cm before pregnancy to consider fibroid surgery. But when to do the surgery, you need to know when to plan your family. If you have not planned your family recently, it is recommended that you can do the surgery 1-2 years before your family planning. Otherwise, if you have an early surgery, there will be fibroid growth before delivery, and it will be more difficult at that time. If the fibroid is subserous or 4cm, unless it is a submucosal fibroid or cervical fibroid, you can get pregnant with the tumor.

Traditionally, abdominal surgery is generally used to remove asymptomatic fibroids. In recent years, laparoscopic surgery has become popular among patients due to its minimally invasive nature and quick recovery after surgery. However, the appropriate indications must be selected, and the suitability for laparoscopic surgery generally depends on the doctor's experience, the number, size and location of the fibroids. In general, if there are too many fibroids, such as more than 5, or if the fibroids are too large with a diameter of more than 10 cm or are located in a special posterior wall or cervix, laparotomy should be considered. Hysteroscopic surgery can be used for submucosal fibroids.

Since uterine fibroids are mostly benign tumors, the symptoms in the body are not very obvious. Patients should master the relevant pathological knowledge of the disease in a timely manner. If properly controlled, they can have children, and they need to pay enough attention. Only safe treatment can achieve a certain effect.
