I am 30 years female. I gave birth to a my first baby last October (3 months back) with c-section delivery. After delivery doctor confirmed that I have fibroid. Is fibroids are dangerous? Need to take treatment or surgery? Doctor told to have another baby with in 2 year if needed. Is it urgent to get pregnant? Should I go for scanning (i am just 2.5 post pregnant). I am scared of this. please suggest me.

Hello dear Lybrate-user, Warm welcome to Lybrate.com I have evaluated your query thoroughly. Rather than scarring, just get an ultrasound and size of the fibroid. Small, asymptomatic fibroids can always be kept under observation as of 2 -3 cm size. It is not urgent to get pregnant, but as the fibroid increases in size, then there are difficulties in conceiving, so just keep the size under check every 6 months by ultrasound. Many fibroids even stay as same size for years also, some grow faster, there is no fix pattern of their growth in every individual. But take home message at present is to do not panic and concentrate more towards the newborn care Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine motherhood and health ahead. Welcome for any further assistance. Regards take care.
