Do Fibroids Cause Infertility And Affect Your Pregnancy?

Fibroids cause infertility that further hinders your chances of being successfully pregnant. You can receive successful, safe treatment for fibroids at the top infertility clinic in Gurgaon, Jain Maternity & Infertility Clinic. Read ahead all about how fibroids are linked with infertility and pregnancy risks. 



What are fibroids?

These are non-cancerous tumors that develop on or in your womb, i.e., uterus. Fibroids cause infertility, diminishing pregnancy possibilities. 


Symptoms of fibroids

You might not find any signs of fibroids or the following common symptoms:

  • Painful or heavy periods

  • Spotting (bleeding between menstrual cycles)

  • Anaemia from long-term or heavy bleeding

  • Prolonged menstruation

  • Experiencing a slight pressure or fullness in the lower abdomen

  • Painful sex

  • Constipation 

  • Low back pain

  • Reproductive problems like infertility, preterm labour and miscarriage

  • Urinating often

  • Trouble emptying your urinary bladder

During your pelvic examination, you might feel your fibroids. If the doctor suspects you have benign growths, you may need an imaging test like an ultrasound for determining the growths to be fibroids or not. 


How do fibroids cause infertility?

Several women possessing fibroids can be pregnant naturally. They might not even need treatment for conceiving.

However, sometimes, fibroids cause infertility indeed. For instance, submucosal fibroids, a kind of fibroid developing and bulging into your uterine cavity, raise the vulnerability to infertility and pregnancy loss. 

If you experience difficulty to conceive or maintain your pregnancy, the doctor might also explore other probable factors using certain medical tests and procedures before associating the problem to fibroids.  


How do fibroids affect pregnancy?

Fibroids can augment your risk for other complications associated with pregnancy and childbirth. These are:

  • Foetal growth inhibition

Huge fibroids might prevent your foetus from developing completely due to reduced room in your uterus.

  • Placental abruption

It happens when your placenta breaks away from your womb’s wall being blocked by a fibroid. This decreases the flow of essential nutrients and oxygen.

  • Preterm delivery

Pain due to fibroids might cause uterine contractions that lead to an early delivery.

  • Caesarean delivery

Women having fibroids are more probable to require a C-section than those who are without these growths.

  • Breech position

Your baby might not be able to align itself for natural delivery due to the abnormal shape of your uterine cavity.

  • Miscarriage

The possibilities of miscarriage are almost double in women possessing fibroids. 


Infertility treatment in Gurgaon

During pregnancy

During pregnancy, treating fibroids is restricted by the risk of harming your foetus. Mild painkillers, hydration and bed rest can allow expectant mothers to control fibroid symptoms.

Rarely, you will require myomectomy in the second half of your pregnancy. It eliminates fibroids from within your uterine wall or the exterior of your womb, keeping your uterus intact. Fibroids inside the cavity are usually left undisturbed to prevent risking your foetus. 

Before pregnancy

Treating fibroids before pregnancy enhances your chances of conceiving successfully. At our infertility clinic in Gurgaon, you can get the following effective fibroid treatment options for preserving fertility:

  • Myomectomy

It surgically eliminates fibroids. It might raise the requirement for a C-section. So, you may have to wait about 3 months after the process before trying to conceive. 

  • Hormonal birth control pills

While you are using these pills, you cannot become pregnant. However, this remedy can help relieve signs of uterine fibroids, including painful menstruation and heavy bleeding.

  • IUD (Intrauterine device)

It also prevents pregnancy while you are using it. but, it can help ease some of the signs and preserve fertility. 

  • Gn-RH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) agonists

These obstruct the production of the hormones that help in ovulation and periods. Hence, you have pregnancy while taking this medicine. But it assists in shrinking fibroids.

  • Myolysis

It employs a radio-frequency energy beam, laser or electric current for shrinking the blood vessels which feed your fibroids.
