What are the dangers of being pregnant with a tumor for older mothers?

Pregnancy itself is a happy thing, but if the pregnant woman is older and is an elderly mother, especially if she has a tumor in her body, it is very harmful to her body. So in this case, you need to go to the hospital to consult a doctor. If there is a greater risk after pregnancy, it is better to terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible for the sake of health.

What are the dangers of being pregnant with a tumor in an advanced maternal age?

Because it is a pregnancy with a tumor, as the time of amenorrhea increases, the high level of estrogen and progesterone stimulation may cause the fibroids to increase significantly, and the fibroids may cause deformation of the uterus and affect the growth and development of the fetus, and even lead to the possibility of miscarriage. If the fibroids grow significantly, it may affect the recovery of uterine contraction during subsequent natural birth or caesarean section, thereby causing the risk of heavy bleeding. Older pregnant women may often develop gestational diabetes or preeclampsia.

If the patient with uterine fibroids does not have symptoms such as excessive menstrual flow, difficulty urinating, anemia, infertility and miscarriage, then surgery is not necessary and only temporary observation is needed. Older patients with uterine fibroids can still have children after becoming pregnant. In order to ensure a smooth pregnancy, older pregnant women with tumors need to undergo a thorough examination and let the doctor determine whether the fetus can be retained. If the uterine fibroids are small, no treatment is needed. Just keep monitoring. If the uterine fibroids are relatively large, you must cooperate with the doctor for treatment. After obtaining the consent of the patient and family, the hospital will develop a detailed treatment plan. You can still continue the pregnancy. Caesarean section is possible.

Can uterine fibroids be removed during cesarean section? This question is also a question that everyone is very concerned about. In fact, this is not recommended at present. Often, fibroids shrink after delivery, and when fibroids are removed, there is an increased surgical risk of heavy bleeding.

Generally speaking, women with uterine fibroids and subserosal fibroids that are less than 2 cm in diameter can become pregnant. However, if uterine fibroids grow to more than 3 cm in diameter before pregnancy, the risk of premature birth and miscarriage increases by 50%. Or if the diameter of the fibroid is less than 3 cm, but the growth location is not good, such as uterine fibroids in the uterine cavity or cervix, it is more dangerous. Some uterine fibroids can compress the fallopian tubes, which can affect pregnancy or cause infertility. It is best to have surgery to remove the fibroids and then get pregnant.

Although there are successful examples, we need to be cautious. Because uterine fibroids are benign uterine tumors, they are very common in women of childbearing age. The growth of fibroids can easily compress the fallopian tubes and even affect sperm, leading to infertility. Once pregnant, the fibroids will grow rapidly along with the uterus during pregnancy, especially after the second trimester, and will undergo "degeneration", leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain and fever, and are also prone to cause miscarriage and premature birth. So be careful.
