Uterine fibroids, the most common benign tumor in the female reproductive system, often remain undetected until discovered during a medical examination. Also known as fibroids or uterine leiomyomas, these common tumors typically do not cause noticeable symptoms. However, for women planning to conceive—especially those considering IVF-PGT—uterine fibroids may pose challenges that cannot be overlooked. So, can women with uterine fibroids still pursue IVF-PGT? Is surgery necessary? 

The answer depends on individual circumstances. If the fibroids are small and located in areas that do not interfere with embryo implantation or development, surgery is generally unnecessary, and the IVF process is unlikely to be significantly affected. On the other hand, for women with large or multiple fibroids, surgery may become a prerequisite. Larger fibroids may compress the uterine cavity, hinder normal implantation of fertilized eggs, or increase the risk of miscarriage or restricted fetal growth after conception. 

With the advanced application of IVF-PGT in the U.S., uterine fibroids are no longer an insurmountable obstacle to parenthood, provided their potential impacts on pregnancy are thoroughly understood and addressed with appropriate medical interventions. The professional team at IVF USA emphasizes that pre-pregnancy screening is indispensable for women planning to conceive. Even for those without immediate plans for pregnancy, routine annual gynecological exams are crucial for assessing overall health, particularly uterine health and fertility—a proactive step toward safeguarding future reproductive potential. 

For women already diagnosed with uterine fibroids, hysteroscopy can provide comprehensive diagnostic insights, enabling doctors to offer personalized treatment recommendations based on the size, location, and impact of the fibroids on the uterine environment. Some patients may require surgical intervention before proceeding with IVF-PGT, while others with milder conditions might be advised to monitor closely and plan treatment and conception timelines accordingly.
