Should Fibroids Be Removed Before IVF?

fibroids and ivf

Because of their great frequency in women, fibroids are particularly prevalent among women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) therapy.

It is well acknowledged that fibroids are detrimental to IVF results and should be removed.

Uterine fibroids may impair a woman’s capacity to carry a baby to term and fertility. This will be determined mostly by the kind of myoma, its extent, and its impact on the uterine cavity.

As a result, not all fibroids are withdrawn before assisted reproduction therapy begins. However, in certain circumstances, excision of fibroids is suggested to improve success chances.

Do Uterine Fibroids Have an Impact on Fertility?

When uterine fibroids are discovered, one worry a woman of reproductive age may have is her ability to get pregnant. 

First and foremost, women should understand that the presence of uterine fibroids doesn’t necessarily prohibit them from becoming pregnant, even naturally.

Nevertheless, a fibroid may affect fertility because of one or more of the following factors:

  1. Blockage of the sperm’s route to the fallopian tubes from the uterus, preventing conception. A blockage of the tubal ostium, or the orifices that link the uterus to the tubes, is also possible.
  2. Deformation or modification of the uterine cavity.
  3. Changes in uterine contractility.
  4. Changes in blood flow and vascularization.

As a result, in some women with fibroids, fertilization and embryo implantation may be hampered, potentially preventing pregnancy. Submucous fibroids are often related to reproductive capability impairment.
