The presence of fibroids starts when a woman is in her childbearing years. For women who are planning to become pregnant in the upcoming years and have fibroids, they should consult and check the growth of these tumors quite often by her gyn. Generally, the fibroids do not affect pregnancy. However, their location inside the uterus along with their size does create complications during the time of childbirth. It is not good to treat these tumours while you are pregnant, so it is advisable to consult the doctor as soon as possible to treat them. If you are also planning to become pregnant in the next few months, you should immediately ask the gyno about the presence of the fibroid growths.
 Treat Fibroids before Conjugation
If you are planning to become a mother in the upcoming months and you have these uterine growths, you must visit your gyno and ask for the best uterine fibroids treatment that can reduce these tumors. It is better to shrink these growths instead of an invasive surgery like removing them from the uterus. It is seen that fibroids can create the problem and reduce the chances of conception. These growths in the uterus prevent the sperm from meeting the egg from meeting and also create several issues during the implant of the embryo inside the womb.
If you opt for the surgical method like the myomectomy, the fibroids are removed through cutting from the uterus walls. But, there are chances of uterus scarring and problems in the implantation of the embryo. Even in the later stages, the fibroids can come back within 10 months. So, it is always better to choose the process of shrinking the fibroids. UFE is one such invasive method that helps in shrinkage of the fibroids. It also does not cause any scarring, and the woman can become pregnant in the future as well.
How Fibroids Are Affecting Pregnancy
During the time of pregnancy, the hormones in the body cause the uterus to grow and enlarge for accommodating the fetus. In some of the cases, these hormones are also responsible for the growth of the uterus. Even, when the fibroids grow in size, they can take the nutrients from the fetus and also take up space in the uterus, increasing the reasons for miscarriage.
Other causes of fibroids include extreme abdominal and back pain. In certain acute cases, the woman may experience too much bleeding due to the proximity to the fibroids. In the later stages of pregnancy, the fibroids may cause the preterm labor which can lead to the preterm delivery, and the baby has certain developmental deficiencies in the body. If the pregnancy is normal even in the fibroids, there can be several challenges in the time of delivery. These tumours can cause the baby to lie in the breech. Hence, the doctor suggests the cesarean section in those cases.
Hence, if you have fibroids, you must consult the doctor as soon as possible if you want to have a normal delivery.
