Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease, and it is believed that most women are not unfamiliar with this condition, and even suffer from it themselves. If an ordinary woman suffers from uterine fibroids, as long as the fibroid volume is not large, there is no need to worry. However, pregnant women who suffer from this disease must take it seriously. Let's understand the causes of uterine fibroids in early pregnancy.
Uterine fibroids are a disease that is highly dependent on estrogen. As long as estrogen is secreted in the body, fibroids will continue to grow. After pregnancy, the hormonal changes in women's bodies are significant, and as estrogen and progesterone levels increase, uterine fibroids are more likely to occur. Women who have uterine fibroids before will also experience faster growth of fibroids under the stimulation of estrogen after pregnancy.
Don't worry too much about uterine fibroids appearing in early pregnancy. Generally, smaller fibroids do not affect the healthy development of the fetus. However, these types of pregnant women should regularly go to the hospital for physical examinations to understand the growth dynamics of fibroids in a timely manner. If the uterine fibroids show red deformation, it may cause abdominal pain symptoms, in which case active treatment is needed.
Pregnant women who have no significant changes in uterine fibroids throughout the entire pregnancy should not be careless and should also pay attention to observing the location of the fibroids. If the fibroid is located in the lower segment of the uterus, it may affect normal delivery. Such pregnant women may need to prepare for cesarean section in advance to avoid danger during delivery.
