Pregnancy is a miraculous journey, but for many expectant mothers, it comes with unexpected twists and turns. One such twist is the presence of fibroids – noncancerous growths in the uterus.
Dr. Hrishikesh Pai and Dr. Rishma Pai, a distinguished obstetrician and gynecologist and founder of Budget Fertility Center, Mumbai, highlight the management of fibroids during pregnancy, ensuring minimal trauma and its successful delivery.
Dr Rishma Pai, one of the leading gynaecologist in Mumbai states, ‘Managing fibroids during pregnancy requires an integrated approach which includes medical expertise and treatment that safeguards the mother and the unborn child. Hence, I take care to pay a great deal of attention to their health during the entire period of pregnancy.’
Dr. Rishma Pai is an acclaimed gynaecologist associated with prestigious hospitals in Mumbai, including Lilavati Hospital, Jaslok Hospital, and Hinduja Hospital. For the past three decades, Dr Pai has been offering her professional expertise to couples and women who wish to experience parenthood but have been unsuccessful in doing so.
She explains that fibroids are growths that occur in the womb. Mostly, they are not cancerous and often go undetected. However, large-sized fibroids are likely to complicate pregnancies and can affect the conception, the development of the fetus and the delivery as well. Hence, it is necessary to take adequate fibroid management steps and ensure a smooth delivery without complications
She adds that a great deal of consideration and personalized management is required for pregnant women who have been detected with fibroids. We work towards increasing their awareness and helping them to make informed decisions and measures for a successful pregnancy and the birth of a healthy child.
Pregnant women with fibroids can complain of abdominal discomfort, severe cramps, digestive issues and excessive urination due to pressure on the bladder and hence require relevant treatment for the same. Though fibroids do not affect the pregnancy, they can create complications that lead to loss of pregnancy, early labour and hemorrhage before or after delivery.
To combat the presence of fibroids, Dr Pai suggests a comprehensive approach by seeking consultation and medical expert opinion of obstetricians and gynecologists related to fibroid removal or myomectomy during a cesarean procedure by taking into consideration possible risks and likelihood of post-cesarean complications. Other management options include hormone therapy, high-intensity ultrasound treatment with a healthy diet and minimal exposure to hazardous and/or polluted environments.
