How soon can you get a fibroid removed after having a baby by c- section?

If I am having a c- section, how soon after the baby is born can they remove a large fibroid? Mine is big and has caused problems in the past.

Fibroids grew during pregnancy and shrink after. If you are having a c-section, your doctor will be able to see exactly where the fibroid is and tell you if it can be removed without causing problems. I know women who had the fibroids removed during the c-section and later had more children without problems, but there are other women who could not have the fibroids removed because it would have caused too much blood loss. If the fibroid is not causing any problems during your pregnancy and you want more children, than leave it alone because it will shrink after giving birth. Only you and your doctor can decide if the fibroid must or can be removed and when.
Reply:That is something that would need to be discussed with your doctor.





Many take the wait-and-see approach, because if you're planning on future pregnancies, removal might jeopardize your ability to carry to term. If you're done having children, then it may come down to a matter of a hysterectomy... because unfortunately some fibroid tumors cannot be removed without major damage to the uterus. This may be the reason the doctors have never messed with it before this.
