Fibroids in Pregnancy: Key Insights by hanaddul is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Fibroids are fairly common during pregnancy, affecting 1-10% of women. While they can potentially cause complications like fetal malpresentation and preterm delivery, many fibroids will shrink or disappear during pregnancy. For fibroid-related pain, the drug indomethacin is usually effective and safe for the fetus. Women who previously had a myomectomy to remove fibroids need an individualized birth plan depending on the surgery, as there is a risk of uterine rupture during labor.
