  • Each other peeling young. This happens when the placenta separates from the uterine city because it is blocked by a fibroid. This reduces oxygen and important nutrients for feeding the child.
  • Premature birth. Pain caused by fibroids can lead to uterine contractions, which can lead to premature birth.
  • Cesarean section. Some studies have estimated women with uterine fibroids are six times more likely to have a cesarean section than women without fibroids.
