What should I do if I get uterine fibroids after pregnancy?

The birth of a new life into a family is a very happy thing. So parents are very careful, fearing that something might go wrong. However, no matter how careful you are, you may still suffer from various gynecological diseases during pregnancy, such as uterine fibroids. So what should you do if you get uterine fibroids during pregnancy?

1. Look at the size of uterine fibroids

Since pregnancy is a special period, it must be treated with caution. If you find that the uterine fibroids are not very large and have no impact on the pregnant woman and the fetus, you can observe them temporarily and have regular prenatal check-ups. Drug treatment is not recommended at this time, because many drugs will affect the development of the fetus after all. However, you must follow the doctor's instructions for regular check-ups, mainly to observe the changes in the fibroids. If it has not grown, then it is the best result. Wait until the child is born before dealing with it, which is the safest time.

2. Choose a method based on symptoms

Secondly, if the fibroids are found to be relatively large during the examination and have affected the normal development of the fetus, or if the fibroids are gradually growing during the follow-up examination and may lead to premature birth, then treatment must be carried out. It can be treated with medication, and in severe cases surgery may be required. At this time, the best treatment method must be selected based on the severity of the situation, and it must be done under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

For uterine fibroids during pregnancy, you can try traditional Chinese medicine treatment, but it is only for pregnant women with mild fibroids. Severe fibroids may still require surgery or artificial abortion.

The points summarized above are how to deal with uterine fibroids discovered during pregnancy. As a female friend, you must do a pre-pregnancy check-up before preparing for pregnancy, so that gynecological diseases can be discovered in time and treatment can be carried out early without affecting pregnancy. In addition, there are many reasons for women to have uterine fibroids, such as incorrect lifestyles and multiple abortions, which can cause certain harm to the body, so female friends must pay attention to it.
