Uterine FibroidsUterine fibroids are common benign growths that develop within the lining of the uterus. While this problem is common among young women, particularly of child-bearing age, you may be concerned about whether or not this condition could impact your current or future pregnancy. An OBGYN will be your guidepost for providing all the information and care you could need throughout your pregnancy, and with regards to treating uterine fibroids.
What are the signs and symptoms of uterine fibroids?
If you have uterine fibroids you may experience:
  • Frequent urination
  • Pain with intercourse
  • Lower back pain or rectal pressure
  • Bloating or fullness in the abdomen
  • Breakthrough bleeding
  • Heavy, painful periods
  • Infertility
Not all women with uterine fibroids will experience symptoms, which is why it’s so important to stay up to date with your OBGYN checkups and routine screenings.
Can uterine fibroids impact my pregnancy?
For some women, having uterine fibroids during pregnancy may present a problem, which is why you should speak with your OBGYN and go to all your scheduled prenatal appointments and checkups. While you may never experience any issues during your pregnancy, uterine fibroids may be more likely to result in:
  • A breech birth
  • Needing a cesarean section
  • Labor that doesn’t progress
  • Preterm delivery
  • Placental abruption
How are uterine fibroids treated?
If a woman isn’t pregnant there are certain medications that she can take to help improve symptoms. Surgery may also be recommended to remove more severe fibroids; however, treatment for uterine fibroids in pregnant women is rather limited because many of these treatment options could pose a threat to the unborn child. In this case, bed rest and staying hydrated are two of the best ways for expectant mothers to manage fibroids. Also, talk with your gynecologist about the right pain medications to take to help control your discomfort.
Even though most fibroids won’t cause any problems for most women during pregnancy, an OBGYN also understands what to look for and signs that could put you and your unborn child at risk to ensure that you get the immediate care and attention you need.

Testimonial

  • Dr Zandomeni delivered my twins two years ago. I was so scared my whole pregnancy thinking I could miscarry at anytime due to being multiples and she always made me feel better. She gave me peace of mind and made sure I always felt very comfortable with everything that had to do with my pregnancy. Every time I had a scared she would make sure my pregnancy was still going good and would talk to me with such a sweet voice that would really calm me down! I would highly recommend her

  • Dr. Zandomeni is the absolute best! She delivered my baby almost 7 years and I have not gone anywhere else for all my women needs. She truly cares about her patients. The office is so clean and beautiful.

  • Dr.Z just delivered my second baby via induction. I was terrified the whole time and she made me feel so at ease. My delivery was fast and painless, I am so grateful she was my delivery doctor. Appt wait times aren’t excessive and she follows up with you which I feel so many drs don’t these days. You can definitely tell this is her passion. I highly recommend working with dr Zandomeni and can’t recommend her enough.
