Can I get pregnant with breast fibroids? Female friends, please watch out

Some patients with breast fibroids want to know whether they can get pregnant and have children. Experts say that it is best not to get pregnant at this time. If you have to get pregnant, it is best to remove the fibroids first, because pregnancy will cause the fibroid disease to worsen.

1. Can you get pregnant with breast fibroids?

Can I get pregnant if I have breast fibroids? It is possible to get pregnant with breast fibroids, but since a large amount of estrogen is secreted during pregnancy, causing the fibroids to grow larger, it is best to remove the fibroids before becoming pregnant. If surgical removal is not performed before pregnancy, regular ultrasound examinations should be performed during pregnancy to determine whether the fibroadenoma is growing or worsening.

Although the chance of breast fibroids getting worse is less than 1%, they will never disappear on their own. When women reach menopause, the tumor will become smaller due to the decrease in estrogen, but it will always exist. If left untreated, the fibroid mass will continue to grow, and the surgical resection area and incision will increase, affecting the postoperative beauty of the breast. Therefore, if the tumor is larger than 1.5 cm, surgery can be performed as soon as possible if conditions permit.

3. Treatment of breast fibroids

The current treatment for breast fibroids is surgical excision. Once breast fibroids are formed, especially after B-ultrasound examination, which shows the presence of a complete capsule, it is difficult to solve the problem by relying solely on drugs. Moreover, adjusting endocrine drugs will bring great side effects to patients and may further lead to endocrine disorders.

Many hospitals use the Mammotome surgery to treat breast fibroids. Compared with open surgery, the incision of this surgery is only about 3 mm larger, but it is only suitable for fibroids smaller than 2 cm, and this part of the fibroid will not bring any adverse effects to the patient. There is no clear evidence whether Mammotome can completely remove fibroids.

If you are financially well-off and want to remove the fibroid early, you can undergo Mammotome surgery. If your financial ability is limited and you do not want to undergo surgery too early, you may want to wait until the tumor grows a little bigger before undergoing open surgery.
