Can I get pregnant with uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors formed by the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle tissue. They are common benign tumors in women. Generally, pregnancy is possible, but in certain circumstances, pregnancy may be affected, such as the size and location of the fibroids, the symptoms caused by the fibroids, etc. The details are as follows:

1. Generally, pregnancy is possible: For most uterine fibroids, there will be no significant impact on women's ability to conceive and the pregnancy process. It will not hinder the implantation of the fertilized egg, nor will it affect the normal development of the embryo.

2. Certain circumstances may affect pregnancy:

1. The impact of uterine fibroid size: If the uterine fibroid is large, especially if the diameter is more than 5 cm, it may deform the uterine cavity or compress the fallopian tube, hindering the implantation of the gestational sac and the growth and development of the embryo. At the same time, multiple fibroids or rapidly growing fibroids may occupy more uterine cavity space, increase the risk of infertility, and cause complications such as fibroid degeneration and pain during pregnancy.

2. The influence of the location of uterine fibroids: If the uterine fibroids are located under the uterine mucosa, it may change the morphology of the uterine cavity, affect the implantation of the fertilized egg, and increase the risk of miscarriage and premature birth. If the uterine fibroids are close to the endometrium, it may also affect the receptivity of the endometrium, leading to infertility or miscarriage.

It is recommended that women undergo a comprehensive gynecological examination before preparing for pregnancy and consult a professional doctor. During pregnancy and delivery, management and monitoring should be strengthened to ensure the safety of mother and baby.
