Is it possible to have a second child if I have fibroids?

  Recently, the new fertility policy is believed to have excited many parents who are looking forward to having a second child. However, a healthy and safe pregnancy is beneficial to the growth of the fetus and the health of the mother. For women of childbearing age with fibroids, there are concerns about whether they will be able to conceive and have a healthy baby. Let’s learn more about the relationship between fibroids and pregnancy.  Before preparing for pregnancy, women of childbearing age should consider the need for surgery before pregnancy based on the size, location and number of fibroids, the possible impact on pregnancy, and the possible impact of surgery on pregnancy and delivery. Generally speaking, if the fibroids are larger than 5 cm and more in number (e.g. multiple intermyometrial fibroids), they affect the normal shape of the uterine cavity and are not conducive to the fertilization of the egg, and even if the egg is fertilized, it will be easy to miscarry early, so surgery should be performed first before pregnancy. In the case of submucosal fibroids, they usually affect the embryonic implantation or the intrauterine growth and development of the fetus, and the increase in hormone levels during pregnancy may also lead to an increase in the size of the fibroids, which is more unfavorable to pregnancy, so surgery is recommended before pregnancy. If the fibroids are not large, located in the subplasma or intermuscular wall and do not significantly change the morphology of the uterine cavity, especially if the patient is older, it is recommended to take advantage of the best period of fertility to get pregnant first. Some fibroids have obvious symptoms or are growing in the isthmus of the uterus, etc. These fibroids have a greater impact on pregnancy and are prone to fibroid degeneration after pregnancy. The surgery is also necessary for some patients with fibroids who have infertility due to fibroids.  Every mother-to-be with fibroids should have a detailed consultation before pregnancy to reduce unnecessary worries and to be a healthy mother!
