Does pregnancy with uterine fibroids affect the baby?

Uterine fibroids, also known as fibroids, are mainly caused by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells, in which there is a small amount of fibrous connective tissue. It can be said to be a kind of dangerous tumor unique to women. Nowadays, many young people have uterine fibroids, most of which are not serious, but for safety reasons, it is recommended that women have regular physical examinations. However, does pregnancy with uterine fibroids have any impact on the child?

After a woman is diagnosed with uterine fibroids, if the condition is serious, she will experience regular vaginal bleeding in the early stages, and later symptoms include increased menstrual flow and longer menstrual periods. However, most uterine fibroids do not have obvious symptoms in the early stages. Many women discover that they have uterine fibroids during pre-pregnancy physical examinations or prenatal examinations after pregnancy. This also indirectly shows that the early symptoms of uterine fibroids are generally not obvious.

The doctor's advice is that generally, uterine fibroids without symptoms will not affect normal pregnancy. On the contrary, if they are removed surgically, if the surgery is not done properly, it will cause damage to the uterus, which will indirectly affect pregnancy. In cases like Xiao Qin's, her chief physician's advice is: prepare for pregnancy first, and observe the situation after delivery. If the uterine fibroids grow, consider surgery. If there are still no symptoms and no growth as now, then there is no need for surgery, and regular follow-up visits will be enough.

Some women suffer from uterine fibroids. Although they have no symptoms, the uterine fibroids are relatively large and exceed 3 cm. The doctor's advice is to treat it first and then get pregnant. Because large uterine fibroids will compete with the fetus for nutrients in the later stages and affect the growth of the fetus, various other complications are more likely to occur in the later stages of pregnancy. In addition, patients with uterine fibroids with a history of miscarriage and women who cannot become pregnant normally due to uterine fibroids also need to be treated first and then prepare for pregnancy.
