Will uterine fibroids affect normal childbirth? How big will uterine fibroids affect normal childbirth?

Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological tumor, which is undoubtedly very harmful to the patient's health, but some patients initially do not understand the harm of uterine fibroids and only know that the tumor is treated. So, how much impact does uterine fibroids have on natural childbirth?

1. If the fibroids grow too fast as the pregnancy progresses, it should be paid attention to. Some fibroids will change their position, and some will increase in size. Some fibroids are "reddening degeneration" caused by tissue congestion and embolism after pregnancy, leading to abdominal pain, uterine contraction and other conditions. Some larger fibroids affect the turning of the fetus, resulting in incorrect fetal position; some lower fibroids block the fetal channel and increase the possibility of cesarean section. Only a few cases, such as torsion necrosis of pedicled serosal fibroids, require immediate surgery; or mucosal fibroids cause antepartum bleeding and placental detachment; or fibroids affect postpartum uterine contractions, leading to postpartum hemorrhage. Gynecologists must pay attention to these serious complications.

2. If uterine fibroids are found in early pregnancy, it is generally recommended to observe and recheck regularly. If the fibroids gradually grow and the special position cannot coexist with the fetus, then termination of pregnancy must be a good idea, and the uterine fibroids should be treated first. If it is late pregnancy, uterine fibroids are found near delivery, the fibroids are not very large, and the development is relatively slow, then it is okay.

3. Therefore, whether uterine fibroids affect natural childbirth depends on comprehensive factors such as the development of the fibroids and the pregnancy cycle. After all, the ultimate goal of all pregnant women is to hope that the fetus will be born smoothly, so in this process, try to listen to the advice of obstetricians and gynecologists. You can have a natural childbirth, otherwise you can have a caesarean section. Don't stubbornly choose the delivery method.
