Will myomectomy affect fertility?

Some people say that if a woman has never given birth to a child in her life, she is not considered a complete woman. Yeah, what about that woman who doesn’t own her own child? However, the invasion of many gynecological diseases can cause obstacles to women's reproductive methods. For example, uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease that must be surgically removed. So will uterine fibroid removal affect fertility?

Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyoma, are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. Most cases are asymptomatic, while a few may present with vaginal bleeding, abdominal masses, and compression symptoms. Modern Western medicine uses sex hormones or surgical treatment, and there is no other ideal treatment. But if the uterine fibroids are not removed, they will generally grow larger and larger.

Minimally invasive surgery is currently the most effective way to treat uterine fibroids. The doctor makes three small 5 mm incisions in a hidden part of the patient's abdomen, then inserts a laparoscope and completes the operation with the assistance of the laparoscope.

After all, hysterectomy is a surgery on the uterus where women bear children, so it will definitely have a certain impact on future fertility. Some women who undergo surgery will have a reduced chance of pregnancy and an increased chance of miscarriage, premature birth, postpartum hemorrhage, etc.

However, as long as you recover well after hysteromyoma removal surgery, you can still get pregnant. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can practice contraception six months or a year after the surgery and then get pregnant.

Women who suffer from this disease should pay attention to their lifestyle and diet. They should eat a light diet and avoid eating mutton and seafood. They should avoid spicy foods and drinks such as chili peppers, peppercorns, raw onions, raw garlic, and white wine. They should also avoid hot and blood-coagulant foods such as longan, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, and royal jelly.

In short, if a woman undergoes a hysteromyoma removal surgery, whether she can have children depends on her specific individual situation. If all physical indicators recover well after the surgery and there is no recurrence, the chance of having children is still very high. Therefore, patients do not need to be particularly pessimistic.
