Women Fibroids
Are there any health benefits for women who have not borne children?
I am 40. Two older women at work were sharing hysterectomy stories with me. Both had had two children, both had been found to have a "dead" ovary and extensive uterine fibroids, both had been age 48 at the time of surgery. It made me wonder if my decision to remain childless (one terminated pregnancy before the 3rd month) would affect my health in any beneficial way. I have been on birth control pills since age 18.
Congratulations on being child free. My girlfriend is 38, and I am 42. We are both 100% child free.
I don't think there is much difference in your feminine health. Some men claim that their wife does not "feel" the same on the inside of her xxxx once she had given birth. I have dated both mothers and child free. I never noted anything different that could not be attributed to being a different person.
I have noted that most child free people look younger. We are often mistaken for a couple in our 20's. But that is just about the only difference. My brother is younger than I am, and does not go out in the sun as much, but looks much older than I am because he has stepchildren.
Getting Pregnant With Fibroids - Can Fibroids Affect Pregnancy?
Although many women with fibroids are very worried when they are thinking about conceiving, getting pregnant with fibroids is not always as difficult as you may think. Indeed, for many women, fibroids are not even an issue, with many sailing through a completely normal pregnancy and birth without even realizing that they have this condition.
However, it is undeniably a problem for some women and very often, but not exclusively, it is those who experience symptoms on a regular basis who may experience problems before or during pregnancy.
Some women may experience miscarriage, difficult or lengthier labors or have complications due to fibroids. One survey has estimated that around 3% of all infertility patients may have fibroids. There is a danger that fibroids can block either the entrance to the cervix or the fallopian tube opening. There is also evidence that in some cases, a submucosal fibroid can distort the uterus to such an extent that an embryo may fail to implant or if implantation is successful, there is a chance of miscarriage as the growing fetus competes for space.
If your fibroids are not severe, getting pregnant with fibroids may not be an issue. Plus it is also worth considering that fibroids generally shrink during pregnancy, reverting to their pre-pregnancy size within a few months of delivery. However, it is advisable to visit your doctor before you try to become pregnant so she can determine the position and size of your fibroids and decide if any treatment is necessary.
If you know you have fibroids, for peace of mind it is worth considering using a natural treatment for fibroids before you begin trying to conceive. This could ensure that you are free of fibroids altogether or, at the very least, they have shrunk to a size where they cannot cause complications.
