Can I get pregnant if I have uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are a gynecological disease that is more common in middle-aged women. Uterine fibroids refer to tumors growing in the patient's uterus. If not treated in time, the tumor may worsen. Since uterine fibroids are located in the uterus, many women worry that having uterine fibroids will affect their pregnancy. It is best for patients to go to the hospital for a detailed examination before deciding whether to become pregnant. So, is it possible to get pregnant if you have uterine fibroids?

1. Can I get pregnant if I have uterine fibroids?

Although a small number of pregnant women with uterine fibroids can still have a successful pregnancy and delivery, the risks are also considerable. Therefore, patients with uterine fibroids should be wary of pregnancy. Women must have a detailed gynecological examination before becoming pregnant. Whether uterine fibroids affect pregnancy and delivery mainly depends on the type, size, number, and growth location of the fibroids.

When uterine fibroids are large, hard, and located low, and fail to rise out of the pelvic cavity with the pregnant uterus, they often compress the bladder and rectum and cause functional disorders, resulting in frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating, and sometimes difficulty defecation.

When the fibroids are small, or located on the posterior wall of the uterus or in the cervix, they are difficult to detect during abdominal examination and are sometimes easily misdiagnosed as part of the fetal limb. The true cause is not discovered until the birth canal is blocked during labor, which often seriously endangers the pregnant woman and the fetus.

Therefore, patients with uterine fibroids should be wary of pregnancy, and women with uterine fibroids should seek treatment as early as possible to avoid danger during pregnancy. Uterine fibroids have a great impact on women's pregnancy, so women must do a detailed pre-pregnancy check before becoming pregnant.

2. Precautions for pregnancy in patients with uterine fibroids

Women of childbearing age with uterine fibroids must decide whether to become pregnant after being examined by a gynecologist. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that are common in women of childbearing age. If the growth location of the fibroids compresses the fallopian tubes and affects the movement of sperm and eggs, it will cause infertility. Once pregnancy is possible, the fibroids will grow along with the growth of the uterus during pregnancy, especially after the second trimester, when they will grow rapidly and "degenerate", causing symptoms such as abdominal pain and fever. Uterine fibroids can sometimes easily cause miscarriage and premature birth.

It is recommended not to get pregnant rashly before uterine fibroids are completely cured. If you get pregnant rashly, it may cause certain dangers to both women and fetuses. Uterine fibroids can be big or small. No matter what they are like, it is best to take appropriate measures to improve them and make them completely "disappear" from the body.
