What to do if uterine fibroids are found during pregnancy

Generally, we do not recommend that patients with uterine fibroids become pregnant during the illness, but if you accidentally become pregnant, you should go to the hospital for an abortion in time. Uterine fibroids need to be removed during the abortion process while avoiding psychological risks to the patient. Uterine fibroids are a relatively serious disease that requires everyone's attention. Pregnancy can cause uterine fibroids to worsen. So, what should you do if you discover uterine fibroids during pregnancy?

1. Causes of infertility

1. Reduce sperm motility. Prostatic fluid is a necessary condition for sperm survival because the enzymes, lecithin and trace elements it contains can provide energy and nutrition to sperm. When the disease occurs, the secretion of these nutrients decreases and sperm motility also decreases.

2. Anejaculation or retrograde ejaculation Prostatitis may cause anejaculation or retrograde ejaculation, which prevents sperm from entering the vagina and leads to infertility.

3. Increased acidic substances. The patient's body contains more acidic substances, which increases the acidity of semen, making it unsuitable for sperm survival and leading to reduced sperm motility.

4. The semen liquefaction process of patients will be affected, which will reduce sperm motility and lead to infertility.

5. Effects of bacterial toxins: The pathogenic microorganisms and bacterial toxins contained in the prostatic fluid of patients with prostatitis can directly kill sperm after entering the semen, causing dead sperm, deformed sperm, decreased sperm motility, the production of antisperm antibodies, and reduced sperm acrosome enzyme activity, ultimately leading to male infertility.

2. How to prevent

1. Avoid unsafe abortion: Frequent abortions can lead to uterine fibroids, so both husband and wife should actively take contraceptive measures to try to avoid or reduce the number of abortions.

2. Arrange a reasonable diet: Uterine fibroids are closely related to high estrogen levels, so women should eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins. However, foods with high heat, blood coagulant properties and hormone content, such as longan, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, and royal jelly, should be chosen reasonably and avoided in excessive consumption.

3. Maintain an optimistic attitude: Being in a good mood is very important. No one can have smooth sailing. Pressure and setbacks exist everywhere, so you must adjust your mindset and face life with optimism.

4. Avoid excessive intake of estrogen: Uterine fibroids may be related to excessively high estrogen levels in the body and long-term estrogen stimulation. Therefore, female friends should not take extra estrogen, especially after menopause, so as not to stimulate the growth of uterine fibroids.

5. Keep the vulva clean and dry, and wear loose underwear. If there is too much vaginal discharge, you should remember to flush the vulva at any time.

6. Go to the hospital for regular gynecological examinations: Women should go to the hospital for regular gynecological examinations. If uterine fibroids are found, they should generally be checked again every 3-6 months. If the fibroids are obviously enlarged and bleeding is severe, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible.
