UTERINE FIBROIDS DURING PREGNANCY



Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumours of the uterus, part of the reproductive system of the female. They can grow in the uterus which can affect pregnancy. They make it harder for females to get pregnant, interfere with the implantation of an embryo, or can cause miscarriage. They can also become the reason for having heavy and prolonged periods, pain, or bulk symptoms. Because of this, you may need the best doctor for uterine fibroids.

 

CAUSES OF FIBROIDS

 It is not clear to this date about what are the exact causes of uterine fibroids. However, studies suggest genetics and hormones are less likely involved. When oestrogen and progesterone levels are high during pregnancy, fibroids can grow more, because these hormones influence them. As mentioned earlier, fibroids could also be genetic, with some women having a family history of fibroids. In such cases, women have a high chance of getting them and they might not even know it early.
