In the early stages of pregnancy, the biggest concern for expectant mothers is having a miscarriage. However, there are many factors that can lead to miscarriage in expectant mothers, one of which is the development of uterine fibroids. Because if fibroids grow too quickly and undergo degeneration, it can cause lower abdominal pain, thereby increasing the risk of miscarriage. So, what should we do if we find uterine fibroids during pregnancy?
If uterine fibroids are found during pregnancy, regular prenatal check ups should be conducted. B-ultrasound can be used to observe the growth and development of the fetus, and the uterus and bilateral adnexa should also be observed. If uterine fibroids are found, the treatment mainly depends on the size, location, and clinical symptoms of the fibroids.
If uterine fibroids are detected during pregnancy and there are no symptoms, it is recommended to observe and have regular check ups, as uterine fibroids are benign tumors that grow on the uterus. If handled during pregnancy, it may lead to poor intrauterine conditions of the fetus, resulting in symptoms of miscarriage or premature birth.
If uterine fibroids show red degeneration and patients experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, fever, etc., symptomatic treatment is needed, including fever reduction, pain relief, anti-inflammatory, and fetal preservation treatment. If a torsion of the uterine fibroid is found, it may cause symptoms of acute abdomen and require surgical treatment. Because if uterine fibroid tissue necrosis occurs, it may affect the safety of the mother.
