Fibroids and Pregnancy: What You Need to Know

Fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in the uterus. They are quite common, affecting up to 80% of women by the time they reach their 50s. While fibroids often cause no symptoms, some women may experience heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure. 

Fibroids and Pregnancy

If you’re planning a pregnancy and have fibroids, you likely have questions and concerns. Here’s what you need to know: 

Impact on Fertility

In some cases, fibroids can affect fertility, particularly if they are located in the cavity of the uterus or block the fallopian tubes.

Pregnancy Complications

While most women with fibroids have healthy pregnancies, fibroids can increase the risk of certain complications, such as miscarriage, preterm birth, breech presentation (baby positioned buttocks-first), and cesarean delivery.

Fibroid Growth During Pregnancy

Fibroids may grow larger during pregnancy due to increased blood flow to the uterus.

Management of Fibroids During Pregnancy

The management of fibroids during pregnancy typically involves a watchful waiting approach. Medications to manage pain or heavy bleeding may be prescribed. In very rare cases, surgery to remove fibroids might be considered during the second trimester, but this is only under exceptional circumstances.

FAQ's

Fibroids don't always prevent pregnancy, but their location and size can play a role. Consult your doctor to understand how your specific situation might affect fertility. 

Fibroids, particularly those located in the uterine cavity, may increase the risk of miscarriage. Early prenatal care and monitoring can help mitigate this risk. 

Surgery to remove fibroids during pregnancy is rarely performed due to the risks involved. In most cases, it's best to wait until after delivery to address fibroids.
