Causes
Fibroids, polyps and the uterus
Which ones matter for pregnancy.
Fibroids are common benign growths of the uterine muscle. Their effect depends on position: those bulging into the cavity reduce implantation, while those on the outer surface usually do not. Polyps and adhesions can also stop an embryo implanting.
- Assessed by ultrasound or hysteroscopy
- Cavity fibroids and polyps are removed hysteroscopically
- Treatment before transfer improves the chances
- Not every fibroid needs surgery
