In the spring, I was diagnosed with a uterine myoma, which was 5 cm in size. Then two different gynecologists said not to do anything with him yet, just monitor. I had a wedding in September, and I got pregnant in early October, it's now 5 weeks old. On Tuesday, I was at the gynecologist, who said that the myoma had grown larger and is now 10 cm, in addition, the follicle was located right next to the myoma, which significantly threatens the proper development of pregnancy. In addition, the doctor does not give much chance that the pregnancy will continue at all. I decided to confront this diagnosis with another gynecologist I visited on Wednesday, who said that the situation is actually not good, but that we will fight (Duphostan prescribed me). Unfortunately, it also detected an erosion. He said that I will face a number of complications during pregnancy, that if the pregnancy continues, I will be hospitalized sooner or later. Is it not better in such a situation to lead to a miscarriage in the early stages of fetal development, straighten the matter with the myoma (e.g. with hormonal treatment) and then try to get pregnant again?
Uterine myoma is not an indication for termination of pregnancy. Myomas usually get bigger in the first half of pregnancy, then they don't grow anymore. Pregnancy with myoma poses a certain risk related to uterine contractions and bleeding, which was most likely told by your doctor. You should know that.
However, the course of pregnancy cannot be predicted in detail. There is no conservative treatment of uterine fibroids, it is only operative. A previous operation on the uterus is associated with a greater risk of complications, and much more serious ones.
