How soon can you get pregnant after minimally invasive surgery for uterine fibroids

After minimally invasive surgery for uterine fibroids, pregnancy is usually possible after one year, but it depends on the abdominal incision. The abdominal incision, like open routine surgery, usually heals in 5-7 days, but the incision on the uterus takes a very long time to really heal, in some cases months or even a year, which means that the patient should be told to use contraception after the fibroid removal surgery, and that if the uterus does not heal completely, pregnancy carries a If the uterus is not fully healed, pregnancy carries the risk of uterine rupture. So the question of pregnancy from minimally invasive surgery for fibroids depends on the specific situation in the surgery. If it is a subplasma fibroid, there is little or no damage to the integrity of the uterine wall, and pregnancy can be prepared after 3 months of postoperative contraception. In the case of intermural fibroids, which are also small in number and superficial in location, and which do not enter the uterine cavity at the time of debulking, there is no damage to the integrity of the uterine wall and no alteration of it, and contraception can be used for 6 months after the operation to prepare for pregnancy. If there are many fibroids in the uterus, there are many wounds in the uterine wall, and even enter into the uterine cavity when peeling off, destroying the integrity of the uterine wall, it is recommended to strictly contracept for 1 year, and some even have to contracept for 2 years before considering pregnancy. However, after hysteroscopic myomectomy for submucosal fibroids, the fibroid embedded in the myometrium is not much, and you can get pregnant 3-6 months after the operation. If the fibroid is large and embedded in the myometrium more extensively, it is recommended to let the uterus recover for 1 year before pregnancy, which is safer.
