EFFECTS OF OESTROGEN ON FIBROIDS
When a woman’s oestrogen level increases, for example during pregnancy, fibroid tends to grow at a more rapid pace. Taking contraceptive pills (birth control) also floods the body with oestrogen. Women taking contraceptive pills, therefore, have higher levels of oestrogen and are more likely to develop fibroids. When women are in menopause and level of oestrogen naturally decreases, fibroids also decrease, shrink or disappear. Basically, it all ties into oestrogen, which elevates a woman’s risk for developing uterine fibroids.

EFFECTS OF UTERINE FIBROIDS ON CONCEPTION AND PREGNANCY
Uterine fibroids are thought to be the cause of infertility in 2%-10% of Female infertilitycases. Reports have shown uterine fibroids may be responsible for the following fertility, conception and pregnancy problems:
• Interference with implantation of the ovum
• May compress the fallopian tubes, preventing conception
• Cause anovulatory cycles
• Cause abnormal uterine blood flow, hindering movement of sperm to ova
• Cause miscarriage
• May cause intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR)
• May cause premature rupture of the membranes
• Contribute to retained placenta after birth
• Cause postpartum haemorrhage
• Cause abnormal labour
Although, not all women with uterine fibroids will experience these kinds of troubles and many go on to have healthy pregnancies even with uterine fibroids present. Because there are risks to your fertility and possibly pregnancy, it is best to work to reduce fibroid growth, prevent formation of new fibroids and to maintain healthy lifestyle choices to continue working to bring about the best possible uterine health and that’s exactly what you are about to learn right now.
