What are the causes of infertility due to uterine fibroids?

Some women suffer from infertility due to uterine fibroids. When women suffer from uterine diseases, they must actively receive regular treatment so as not to cause other adverse diseases to the body. There are several reasons why uterine fibroids lead to female infertility. Uterine fibroids grow from the myometrium and grow within the uterine muscle wall. Then the tumor continues to grow and grow in different directions, thus affecting female conception. What are the causes of female infertility due to uterine fibroids?

1. When fibroids develop toward the surface of the uterus and protrude from the surface of the uterus, they are called subserosal uterine fibroids. They are often connected to the surface of the uterus by a pedicle. This has a relatively small impact on female conception and is relatively easy to remove surgically. However, when they grow to a certain size, they will affect the smooth progress of delivery.

2. Fibroids are confined to the uterine muscle wall, which are called intramural fibroids, accounting for about 60%-70% of fibroids. It will not only affect conception but also cause miscarriage or premature birth. Fibroids grow in a mixed pattern to form multiple fibroids or a combination of both, and are less likely to be single.

3. The fibroids develop towards the uterine cavity, protruding inside the uterine cavity and sometimes protruding to the external opening of the cervix. They can be found in the vagina. This type of fibroid is called submucosal fibroid, and the symptoms are relatively numerous, including increased menstruation and vaginal discharge with a foul odor. When submucosal fibroids grow near the internal opening of the fallopian tube or in the upper half of the uterine cavity, they affect the passage of sperm and prevent the fertilized egg from implanting and developing. This type of fibroids can be diagnosed through vaginal examination, hysterography, diagnostic curettage or B-ultrasound. All those diagnosed as submucosal fibroids should be surgically removed. Generally, there is no need for laparotomy, and the tumor can be removed through the vagina and cervix.

4. The reason for infertility caused by uterine fibroids is often because the fibroids block the cervical opening or the inner opening of the fallopian tube and affect the passage of sperm. Even if some women become pregnant, miscarriage is very likely to occur. In the later stages of pregnancy, abnormal uterine contractions can cause premature birth, affect smooth delivery, or cause postpartum hemorrhage. Therefore, do not underestimate uterine fibroids because you think they are the most common, and do not lose confidence in treatment because of several miscarriages.

In short, infertility caused by uterine fibroids is not an incurable disease. As long as you find it, you must seek timely diagnosis and treatment. It is easy to diagnose and the effect of surgical treatment is very ideal. After myoma removal in infertile women, the chance of pregnancy can be significantly increased.
