Some women facing fertility challenges may also have gynecological issues and worry about how these might affect the effectiveness of ovulation induction and IVF. They also wonder if these processes could exacerbate existing conditions. A single woman in her thirties hopes to become pregnant through IVF but has uterine fibroids. She asks Dr. Nathan Zhang from IVF USA whether ovulation induction drugs will affect her uterine fibroids.

Dr. Nathan Zhang from IVF USA provides a professional response: Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive organs and one of the most common tumors in the human body. They mainly consist of proliferated uterine smooth muscle cells with a small amount of fibrous connective tissue for support, hence also known as uterine leiomyomas. For women with uterine fibroids planning to undergo IVF with ovulation induction, there is no need for excessive concern. Ovulation induction medications may have short-term effects during their use, but they do not have long-term effects.

Uterine fibroids are related to the menstrual cycle and estrogen levels in the body. During the ovulation induction cycle, the growth of follicles leads to hormonal changes in the body, and injected hormones also have some impact. However, once the medication is discontinued, hormone levels return to normal naturally, and in the long term, there is no effect on uterine fibroids.

Dr. Nathan Zhang advises women with ovarian cysts and fibroids to consider freezing eggs or undergoing IVF first before considering surgery to remove cysts or fibroids, as surgery may damage the ovaries. Most ovarian cysts do not require treatment.

Some individuals may follow the advice of gynecologists and rush into surgery upon discovering uterine fibroids. In reality, from the perspective of assisted reproductive specialists, completing fertility tasks should take priority. Of course, during ovulation induction or egg retrieval, it is essential to find a professional doctor to devise a targeted ovulation induction plan to avoid stimulation of cyst growth. Therefore, if financially feasible, it is recommended to choose high-level doctors and laboratories to achieve higher success rates while minimizing harm to the body.
