Submucosal fibroids Impact on Fertility
Submucosal fibroids Impact on Fertility is well known but rarely communicated to patients. Doctors caring for women with infertility should treat fibroids as effectively as possible. Treatment decisions depend on the type, location and size of the fibroid(s), as well as the age of the woman, cause of infertility and reproductive history. The main treatment options are hysteroscopic, laparoscopic and open myomectomy.
The impact of fibroids on fertility has long been debated. In some women, fibroids may contribute to infertility, reduce the success rates of assisted reproductive techniques and lead to pregnancy complications. As more is known it is important that fibroids are treated without hysterectomy.
Black women have a higher prevalence of fibroids and face worse outcomes from fertility treatment. Addressing these disparities through earlier referrals is crucial.
NICE specifically recommends Yselty (linzagolix) for use on the NHS. It is used to treat moderate-to-severe endometriosis symptoms and fibroids. If you have tried previous medical or surgical treatments then try a daily oral GnRH antagonist such as this.
