  According to research, approximately 80% of women will have fibroid till they reach 50. Being one of the causes of infertility, they are usually painless because women are unaware of the growth of fibroids in their uterus.

  And to make it more proficient to your knowledge, we are here with this article to make you understand what uterine fibroids are and how it is possible to become pregnant after infertility due to fibroids.

   

  What are uterine fibroids?

  Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that typically appear during the childbearing years. Contrary to popular belief, they are not associated with a high risk of uterine cancer and will never develop into cancer tumours in the future.

  They are generally of a minor size and don’t get detected by human eyes. They range from being single to multiple and enlarge the uterus. And in extreme cases, multiple fibroids can extend the uterus, reaching the rib cage while increasing weight.

   

  Symptoms of uterine fibroids? 

  Women suffering from fibroids may not have any rigid symptoms, as it usually depends on a woman's body type. However, some of the most common symptoms that cause female infertility due to fibroids are:

  • Pelvic pressure or pain
  • Heavy periods 
  • Frequent need to urinate 
  • Constipation
  • Backache or leg pain
  • Long menstrual cycle 
  • Aggravation in emptying the bladder

   

  Causes of uterine fibroids?

  Most probably, the causes of uterine fibroids are-

  • Hormonal effect
  • Genetic changes
  • Extracellular matrix
  • Other factors 

   

  Generally, uterine fibroids form from stem cells in the tissue of the uterus. After that, a single cell splits itself into numerous parts, creating a firm tissue mass.

   

  Risk factors associated with uterine fibroids? 

  One of the most common risk factors associated with uterine fibroids is considered as the age of the woman. And other than that, the most common causes of fibroids that cause female infertility are:

  • Genetic- If your mother or sister has had fibroids then there is a higher risk that you will be suffering from fibroids too.

   

  • Obesity- Increased weight also causes the increased distress of getting uterine fibroids 

   

  • Consumption of alcohol- Increased intake of more and more alcohol induces growth in the uterus, which leads to the development of fibroids.

   

  • Unhealthy diet- An unhealthy diet high in red meat and fast food, combined with a low intake of green fruits and vegetables, leads to the formation of fibroids and female infertility.

   

  Impact of fibroids during pregnancy 

  Suffering from uterine fibroids during your pregnancy will have a graver risk of multiple growths of fibroids, which can lead to female infertility.

  The risk integrated due to fibroids in three months of pregnancy are-

   

  Miscarriage- Women with fibroids are more likely to miscarry than women in good health, and if you have multiple fibroids, you are more likely to suffer from female infertility.

  Bleeding- According to research, women with fibroids are more likely to have bleeding than those women who are having a normal delivery.

  Pain- One of the most common symptoms of fibroids is pain, especially when the fibroids are large. It occurs when fibroids outgrow their blood supply, turn red, and die.

  Placental abruption-  In this, the placenta tears away from the wall of your uterus before the baby gets delivered. The placenta is a significant cell as your baby gets nutrients from it and its removal causes a risk of abortion and female infertility.

  Premature delivery- Premature delivery is a term used when a baby is born before the expected date, and it causes severe deficiencies in your newborn baby.

   

  Pregnancy after fibroid removal?

  You will need to wait at least six months to try to conceive again. However, according to research, it is evident that women who have had a pregnancy after multiple fibroid removal are less likely to conceive through natural pregnancy.
