[请求] 关于multiple fibroids?

[Victoria]

各位妈妈，

想请教一下有谁在怀孕期间经历过multiple fibroids (aka uterine fibroids) 得问题？ 上周五医生告诉我有multiple fibriods 在子宫里，吓了一跳。。。连续做了几个晚上的恶梦，现在只是担心！ 我做了很多research, 基本上说fibroids会阻止怀孕，引起流产和早产的可能性。现在已经怀孕两个月了，不知道接下去是否有其它问题。想了解还有哪位妈妈有过类似的经历？

Fibroids 的中文是内纤维瘤。

I seem to recall that fibroids increase the risk for miscarriage, and that you may need a cesarean section at delivery. Sorry to hear this.

After some reading, At least 25 percent of women in the U.S. have clinically symptomatic fibroids, which means they have symptoms that are typical of fibroids (Crum 1999); estimates suggest fibroids could affect as many as 77 percent of women in the U.S. (Cramer & Patel 1990). So don't worry too much, talk to your doctor, and take good care of yourself.

Thanks!

Hi 渐渐

Thank you for your effort in finding so much resources and information regarding uterine fibroids. It's good to know this is a more common symptom than one of those rare ones. I guess I am not alone. This afternoon, one of my colleague told me her friend went through a rather smooth pregnancy with multiple fibroids, the down side of it is that she had to have the C-Section instead of natural birth, and she visited the doctor on a very regular basis to monitor the growth status of the fibroids. I wouldn't choose C-Section, but as long as the baby is OK, I don't mind to stay in bed a bit longer after the delivery.

That's the spirit!
It's a common problem, you should be careful, but nothing to get worried over. Anemia is a common symptom accompanying fibroids, so you should take good care of yourself first.
