What can cause fibroids? It is well established that uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent tumors that are related to female hormones, so they tend to occur in women of childbearing age and tend to increase rapidly during pregnancy, while most of them stop growing or even shrink after menopause.

Usually, fibroids do not directly affect the growth and development of the fetus, but pregnancy with fibroids is a high-risk pregnancy, and fibroids can have an adverse effect on both pregnancy and delivery. Submucosal fibroids can cause miscarriage if they prevent the development of a fertilized egg, and large interstitial fibroids can cause deformation of the uterine cavity and miscarriage. Large fibroids can cause fetal malposition, fetal growth restriction, placental hypoplasia or placental abruption. During labor, they may obstruct the birth canal and interfere with the descent of the fetal previa, and cause prolonged labor and postpartum hemorrhage due to weak uterine contractions. The incidence of puerperal infection is also relatively high. These conditions can directly endanger the safety of the mother and indirectly affect the normal development and health of the fetus.
