Does anterior uterine fibroids affect pregnancy?

We all know that diseases such as tumors and cancer have become a major type of disease that threatens health today. In recent years, more and more female friends have been suffering from uterine tumors, such as uterine fibroids, uterine cancer and so on. Next, the editor will give a detailed introduction to the question of whether uterine fibroids on the anterior uterine wall will affect pregnancy.

Uterine fibroids on the anterior wall of the uterus affect pregnancy

There are many successful cases of pregnancy with uterine fibroids, but not all uterine fibroids are possible or feasible. Whether pregnancy with uterine fibroids is possible or feasible needs to be considered based on the size, number, location, and type of the uterine fibroids. Generally speaking, if the uterine fibroid is less than 3 cm, it is recommended to try to get pregnant first. For uterine fibroids larger than 3 cm, it is best to determine the type of uterine fibroids, whether it is a subserosal fibroid that grows outside the uterus or a cervical fibroid that grows into the uterine cavity. The latter has a greater impact on pregnancy, and the former has the least. The impact of intramural fibroids is similar.

What are the harms of uterine fibroids

1. Adhesion or inflammation. Inflammatory uterine fibroids will adhere to the uterine appendages, which can easily cause inflammation. It can also cause gynecological inflammation such as adnexitis and pelvic inflammatory disease in women.

2. Secondary anemia. Uterine fibroids can also cause women to have excessive menstrual bleeding. If the excessive bleeding lasts for a long time, it can easily cause secondary anemia. In severe cases, it can also cause women to feel weak, pale, and have palpitations and chest tightness.

3. Infertility or miscarriage. Uterine fibroids located in the uterine angle will compress the fallopian tubes on both sides, which can easily cause the female uterus to deform or shrink, which is not conducive to the perfect passage of sperm, and thus cause female infertility.

4. Others. Uterine fibroids may continue to worsen, so older female patients must pay attention to it. Some female patients may develop abdominal lumps, and their bladder and urethra may be compressed, causing frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and excessive vaginal discharge.

Therefore, not all uterine fibroids will affect pregnancy. Whether uterine fibroids will affect pregnancy depends on the actual size, location, type and other details of the uterine fibroids. However, uterine fibroids can be cured. If the uterine fibroids are serious, it is recommended to consider pregnancy after the uterine fibroids are cured.
