Infertility/Pregnancy Problems
It isn’t all that easy to get pregnant. As a matter of fact, many experts agree
that a healthy woman only has about a 20% chance of conceiving every
month in the best of circumstances. Now, throw in a few fibroid tumors which
can block a sperm’s way to that all-important egg; block the egg’s passage to
the uterus for implantation or cause so much inflammation in the uterus that
the fertilized egg is unable to implant safely at all. Now, let’s say that you do
manage to get pregnant despite of fibroids. Now you have some new
problems. Fibroids can also endanger a pregnancy (or at the very least make
it more uncomfortable) by:
1. Growing larger. Due to an increase in estrogen and progesterone
during pregnancy, some women experience an increase in fibroid size,
which can become very painful and uncomfortable as the pregnancy
progresses.
2. Causing Pre-Term Labor. Women with fibroids tend to deliver babies
prior to 38 weeks gestation 4-20% more often than women without
fibroids.
3. Causing More Birth Defects. Although it is rare, women with fibroids do
have a slightly higher risk of delivering a stillborn child or a baby with
birth defects than women without these uterine tumors.
