Can patients with uterine fibroids get pregnant?

Many women with uterine fibroids worry about whether they can get pregnant. Uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor. If they are serious, they will indeed affect women's reproductive health, so they need to pay attention and actively treat them.

1. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. Fibroids can affect the entry of sperm into the uterine cavity. Submucosal fibroids can easily cause endometrial infection and be detrimental to the implantation of fertilized eggs. Giant multiple uterine fibroids can easily squeeze the interstitial part of the fallopian tube and hinder the passage of sperm, which can lead to infertility. Therefore, they have a certain impact on female fertility.

2. Even if the patient manages to get pregnant, the incidence of spontaneous abortion due to fibroids combined with pregnancy is about 20%. Fibroids affect the implantation of fertilized eggs and the development of the placenta, leading to placenta previa, placental abruption and placental adhesion. If the fibroids restrict the movement of the fetus in the uterus, it will cause abnormal fetal position; if the fibroids hinder the connection of the fetal presenting part, it can cause premature rupture of the membranes. The incidence of antepartum hemorrhage is high when the fibroid is located in the placenta.

3. From the above, it can be seen that uterine fibroids not only lead to infertility, but may also cause miscarriage even after pregnancy. Therefore, it is recommended that patients who have not yet become pregnant wait until they are cured before becoming pregnant. Even if you are pregnant, you should still have regular prenatal checkups. Regardless of the size of the fibroids, or whether they are single or multiple, you should closely monitor their development and prevent their complications.
