Fertility, Miscarriages and Other Pregnancy Issues in Women with Fibroid.
Can Fibroid Cause Fertility Problems?
Fibroid that change the uterine cavity (submucous) shape or are in the cavity (intra-cavitary) reduces fertility by 70% and removing then increases fertility by 70%. Types of Fibroid, that are within the uterus wall (intramural) but don’t change the cavity’s shape, or Fibroid that bulge outside wall (subserosal) don’t decrease the fertility, and removing them doesn’t affect fertility.
Fibroid are not determined by ultrasound. MRI is best, however much costly. Hysteroscopy and saline-infusion sonography can also be effective and cost effective as well.
Can Fibroid Cause Miscarriage?
Fibroid when bulged in submucous or when within cavity may cause miscarriages. Fertilized egg goes down the fallopian tube and possesses the uterus lining. When a submucosal fibroid occurs nearby, it may thin out uterus lining and decreases blood supply to the developing embryo. Sometimes fibroid can also cause inflammation in lining directly above. Fetus can’t develop appropriately, and result in miscarriage. But, with the next pregnancy, the egg may settle in other location, and leads to pregnancy without any problem. But if there is a miscarriage and Fibroid get bulged in uterine cavity, then it must be removed.
