Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They are common among women of reproductive age, and many women with fibroids are still able to get pregnant naturally.
However, in some cases, fibroids may affect fertility or pregnancy depending on their size, number and location.
How Can Fibroids Affect Fertility?
Fibroids may sometimes interfere with fertility by:
- Changing the shape of the uterus
- Affecting the uterine lining
- Blocking or pressing on the fallopian tubes
- Making implantation more difficult in certain cases
Not every fibroid causes fertility problems, which is why proper assessment is important.
Can You Still Get Pregnant With Fibroids?
Yes. Many women with fibroids can still conceive and have a healthy pregnancy.
The impact of fibroids varies from person to person. Some women may not experience any symptoms, while others may have heavy periods, pelvic discomfort or difficulty conceiving.
When Should You Consider a Check-Up?
You may want to speak to a doctor if you experience:
- Heavy or prolonged periods
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Frequent urination
- Difficulty getting pregnant
- Repeated pregnancy loss
- A known history of fibroids
A doctor may recommend an ultrasound or other tests to better understand the size and location of the fibroids.
If you are planning for pregnancy and are concerned about fibroids or fertility, getting assessed can help you understand your reproductive health more clearly.
