Can I get pregnant if I have uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are a serious gynecological disease that has a great impact on women's lives, especially for women who want to get pregnant. Suffering from uterine fibroids will make the body very painful, because most women believe that uterine fibroids will affect women's pregnancy and will greatly restrict the fertility of the next generation. So, is it possible to get pregnant with uterine fibroids? Take a look at the following explanation.

[1] Fibroids growing in the lumen of the fallopian tube can cause the fallopian tube that benefits from its surface to stretch and twist, squeezing the lumen and affecting its patency, or cause the ovary to displace, widening the distance between the ovary and the fallopian tube, and hindering the egg-collecting function of the fimbria of the fallopian tube.

【2】Uterine fibroids can cause the frequency, amplitude and duration of uterine contractions to be higher than the normal baseline, interfering with the implantation of the fertilized egg or causing miscarriage after implantation. When fibroids are accompanied by uterine periosteal hyperplasia, it means that the ovaries do not ovulate. The fibroids cause uterine bleeding, infection, and blockage of the fallopian tubes, all of which can cause infertility.

【3】Larger uterine fibroids can deform the uterine cavity, which is not conducive to the passage of sperm, implantation of the fertilized egg and fetal development.

【4】Uterine fibroids growing in the cervix can compress the cervical canal. Blocking the channel or changing the direction of the cervical opening, moving it away from the semen pool in the posterior fornix, will make it difficult for sperm to enter the cervical opening, thus affecting women's pregnancy.

【5】Submucosal uterine fibroids that grow in the uterine cavity are like a spherical intrauterine device placed in the uterine cavity, hindering fertility. The endometrium on the surface of the uterine cavity is ischemic, necrotic, and atrophic, which is not conducive to the implantation of the fertilized egg.

【6】Myomas growing near the uterine horns can compress the opening of the fallopian tubes and cause blockage.
