In recent years, due to the increasing work and life pressure, environmental pollution and many other factors, the incidence of uterine fibroids has gradually increased, and the age of onset has also shown a younger trend, with the youngest patient being only 15 years old. There are two main reasons for the high incidence of uterine fibroids: first, the improvement of living standards has led people to take too many foods with high estrogen content; second, changes in women’s menstrual time, such as earlier menarche and delayed menopause, which prolong the menstrual period and increase the incidence of uterine fibroids.
Uterine fibroids are very common in women of childbearing age, affecting 1 out of every 4 women. They not only bring the pain of an enlarged uterus and excessive, prolonged menstrual bleeding but also can cause infertility or habitual abortion by compressing the fallopian tubes and affecting the movement of sperm and eggs. Surveys show that the incidence of uterine fibroids in Oriental women is much higher than that in Western women, and the incidence of infertility caused by uterine fibroids is also very high, which deserves attention.
Can Uterine Fibroids Really Cause Infertility?
The young couple, David and Lisa, had not yet had children when Lisa was diagnosed with uterine fibroids, but they did not take it seriously. The fibroids were not very large, and someone said that they could be removed together during childbirth. They thought they would deal with it then, which would save them from extra suffering. In the blink of an eye, 3 years passed, and David and Lisa, who had not used contraception, still had no children. Anxious, the two went to a professional maternal and child hospital and got a confirmed diagnosis: Lisa’s uterine fibroids had grown to 51mm × 53mm × 59mm, which was blocking conception. Looking back over the past few years, Lisa had been suffering from heavy menstrual flow, irregular menstrual cycles, anemia, and symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and lack of energy. David felt extremely regretful. Uterine fibroids not only made Lisa uncomfortable every month but also delayed her pregnancy. Delaying treatment would only cause more trouble. Fortunately, there was no malignant transformation; otherwise, it would be too late to regret.
Uterine fibroids are sex hormone-dependent tumors, mostly occurring in women of childbearing age. The rate of infertility associated with uterine fibroids is as high as 30% to 40%, which is higher than the infertility rate of the general population (10%). The reason is that uterine fibroids block the implantation of fertilized eggs, or block the entrance of the fallopian tubes due to uterine cavity deformation, hindering sperm from entering the fallopian tubes. In addition, uterine fibroids accompanied by ovarian dysfunction are also one of the causes of infertility. The degree to which uterine fibroids affect fertility is related to the location, size, and number of the fibroids.
Generally, a couple who have been married for two years, have regular sexual life, and have not conceived without taking contraceptive measures is called infertile. Conception is a very delicate and complex physiological process, and any link that is hindered or damaged cannot lead to pregnancy. Factors affecting conception include uterine factors, fallopian tube factors, ovarian factors, and other factors. Uterine factors are the primary factor causing infertility. Many people do not have a sufficient understanding of uterine fibroids and take an indifferent attitude, but this is not the case. Uterine fibroids can cause deformation and stenosis of the cervical canal, affecting the passage of sperm, which will definitely cause female infertility. When uterine fibroids grow rapidly or deform, the compression effect they produce will increase uterine contraction, reduce uterine blood supply, and change the blood supply of the endometrium, which is not conducive to the growth and development of the placenta and fetus, leading to natural or recurrent abortion, with the abortion rate reaching 41%.
Achieve "Good Pregnancy" with Technology
What should you do when you have fibroids in the uterus and trouble with infertility? We should not belittle uterine fibroids because they are common, nor lose confidence in treatment because of several miscarriages. In professional maternal and child hospitals, international technologies can help you achieve "good pregnancy".
Maintain Diligently to Achieve "Good Pregnancy"
Infertility or sterility caused by uterine fibroids is not an incurable disease. As long as you seek medical advice and treatment in a timely manner, the treatment effect is generally good. But how long after removing uterine fibroids can you get pregnant?
It is reported that young women of childbearing age who undergo myomectomy cannot get pregnant immediately because there are scars on the uterus from the fibroid removal. Some fibroids are large and deep, and after removal, it is just like having a cesarean section—the uterus needs a certain recovery period. If you get pregnant immediately before the wound is fully healed, there is a risk of uterine rupture. Therefore, patients who have undergone myomectomy will be told that they should not get pregnant soon. This news is definitely not good for people eager to be parents, especially for "elderly would-be parents", who feel time is pressing. How can they wait another year or two?
The Western birth canal maintenance technology introduced from abroad by professional maternal and child hospitals easily solves the urgent anxiety of these "elderly would-be parents". Through personalized birth canal maintenance system plans such as traditional Chinese medicine meridians and manipulation of the birth canal, internal environment regulation of the birth canal, bio-wave birth canal exercises, and repair and plastic surgery of birth canal injuries, birth canal maintenance technology repairs damage to the uterus and birth canal, regulates endocrine levels, prevents scarring on the uterus, and shortens the time for uterine recovery. Postpartum maintenance can shorten the time to conception after surgery, improve fertility, ensure uterine safety, and ensure a smooth pregnancy, which is known as the "green channel of life". Birth canal maintenance technology can not only be used after fibroid removal but also be effective for gynecological conditions such as painless abortion, secondary infertility, and habitual abortion. Start birth canal maintenance now, and I believe you will soon be able to tell him the good news that you are pregnant.
