Can I get pregnant after uterine fibroid surgery?

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that do not require treatment if they are small. However, many women feel scared when they hear about uterine fibroids, but because the tumor has the potential to become cancerous, they will choose surgical removal as a treatment method. But some women worry that they will not be able to get pregnant again after uterine fibroid surgery. Can I still get pregnant after having uterine fibroid surgery?

For women who already have uterine fibroids, there is a possibility that the fibroids will recur. Moreover, the recurrence rate is relatively low for patients with single or small myomas; if the number of myomas is large, the recurrence rate is relatively high. Therefore, women who wish to become pregnant are advised to plan their childbearing when the chance of fibroid recurrence is lower.

Experts believe that uterine fibroids do have a certain impact on fertility and should be treated actively. In addition, it is also related to the location, size and number of the patient's fibroids.

An expert pointed out that "as for the question of whether patients with uterine fibroids can have children, which many people are concerned about, it is best for patients to get pregnant within 3 years, during which the recurrence rate of the disease is low, and the success rate is naturally high."

The special significance of the uterus to women means that patients often have considerable concerns when undergoing surgery. But this is not necessary. The current surgical plan can fully take the patient's feelings into better consideration: remove the fibroids and retain the uterus, which is suitable for young patients who have not yet given birth; if the fibroids are too large or too many, and the uterus has completed its "historical mission" of giving birth, it can be removed.

In fact, hysterectomy does not affect the function of the female endocrine system and the harmony of sexual life. This is because, even if the uterus is removed, the ovaries are still retained. The uterus is just a reproductive organ for implantation, while it is the ovaries that dominate the female endocrine system.

The above introduces the impact of uterine fibroid surgery on conception. There are several ways to perform surgery on uterine fibroids, including partial removal and complete removal. If the uterus is completely removed, it will have a certain impact on conception. However, the ovaries are still retained, so ovulation can still occur normally and women can still become pregnant.
