Uterine fibroids are a common benign gynecological tumor in women, and as long as treated in a timely manner, they will not have a significant impact on the body. In the early stages of pregnancy, some prenatal check ups are done to rule out the possibility of female illness. So, what should be done if there are uterine fibroids during pregnancy?
1. Uterine fibroids that occur during pregnancy are generally benign and do not require special treatment. However, it is necessary to strengthen prenatal monitoring, pay attention to observing the growth rate and location of uterine fibroids, observe whether women have any special symptoms, and whether there are any effects during pregnancy. Treatment can be carried out after delivery.
2. If uterine fibroids undergo necrosis, leading to acute abdominal pain, fever, and other symptoms in women, timely hospitalization is necessary and conservative treatment is generally adopted. Fibroids with a diameter of less than 4 centimeters can continue pregnancy. But if the growth site of the fibroid is not good, inside the uterine cavity or compressing the fallopian tubes, it is best to undergo surgery to remove the fibroid before getting pregnant.
3. The expected treatment for uterine fibroids is to take appropriate medication under the guidance of a doctor when the female and fetal conditions are relatively stable to inhibit the growth of fibroids or suppress the symptoms they exhibit. For patients with uterine fibroids during pregnancy, it is recommended to pay attention to rest, avoid excessive fatigue, maintain a reasonable diet, avoid foods with high estrogen and progesterone levels, and focus on a light diet while strengthening prenatal testing.
