Whether or not a woman with fibroids affects her pregnancy is related to the location and size of the fibroids. If the fibroids are large and located in the subplasma layer, they can affect the development of the fetus.
If the fibroid is located in the mucosal layer, the effect on the fetus is greater. Fibroids in the mucosal layer are located closer to the endometrium, which can easily affect the implantation of a fertilized egg and can also compete for fetal growth space.
If the fibroid is located in the smooth muscle layer and the fibroid is small, it will not affect the fetus, but if the fibroid is large, it will tend to make the space in the uterus smaller and affect the development of the fetus.
If the fibroid is located in the plasma layer, as long as the fibroid does not exceed 5cm, it will not affect the development of the fetus.
Therefore, in clinical practice, when a woman develops uterine fibroids, it is recommended that she consult a doctor in a timely manner and undergo active treatment before pregnancy in order to promote the normal development of the fetus.
