Dear Doctor,
I am a 30-year-old woman who is planning to get married soon, and I just found out that I have a myoma. I am concerned about its impact on my fertility. Does this mean I might have problems conceiving? I would appreciate your expert opinion on this matter.
Thank you very much,

Dear Marie,
Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding your myoma and its potential impact on your fertility. It is completely understandable that you are questioning the possibility of conceiving. Allow me to provide you with some helpful information on this topic.
Myoma are quite common among women of reproductive age
Firstly, it is important to know that uterine myomas, also known as fibroids, are benign tumors that develop in the uterus. They are quite common among women of reproductive age. While myomas can affect fertility, it depends on their size, location, and the number of myomas present.
The effects on fertility can vary from woman to woman
In some cases, myomas can cause problems such as pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, or miscarriages. However, not all myomas cause these symptoms and do not necessarily compromise fertility. The effects on fertility can vary from woman to woman.
Consult a gynecologist
To assess the potential impact of your myoma on your fertility, I recommend consulting a gynecologist. A qualified professional can conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your situation, taking into account your medical history, the size and precise location of the myoma, as well as any associated symptoms.
Based on the results of this evaluation, your doctor can recommend a treatment tailored to your specific situation. In some cases, a myoma may require surgical intervention if deemed necessary. However, it is important to note that the majority of women with myomas can conceive naturally and have a successful pregnancy without complications.
Discuss your concerns with your future spouse
It is also essential to discuss your concerns with your future spouse and benefit from their support throughout this process. Open communication and mutual understanding will strengthen your bond as a couple and help you overcome any potential challenges together.
Each situation is unique
Remember that each situation is unique, and it is therefore crucial to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate assessment of your specific case. Your gynecologist will be your best ally in guiding you through your journey towards conception.
I wish you all the best in your wedding plans, and I am available to answer any further questions you may have.
Best regards,
Dr. Sandra Yene Amougui
