During pregnancy, you should follow the doctor’s advice to do regular obstetric examination and observe the progress of uterine fibroid development, so that you can try to avoid or find out the degeneration of uterine fibroids early.
During pregnancy, due to the relatively high level of estrogen and progesterone, blood supply in the uterus is abundant, and the fibroid tissues are easy to be congested, edematous, and hypertrophied myocytes, which appear as rapid growth of uterine fibroids. Accompanied by changes in the environment surrounding the fibroids and obstruction of blood circulation during pregnancy, degeneration of fibroids may occur.
Some pregnant women may experience symptoms of infection such as abdominal pain and fever. It is important to monitor the gynecological ultrasound during pregnancy to observe the development rate of fibroids. If they increase rapidly in a short period of time, it is necessary to be alert to the degeneration of uterine fibroids, which can be treated conservatively to inhibit contractions in mild cases, and surgical treatment is needed in severe cases.
