Fibroids and Abortion: Understanding the Compatibility


Question
my gf is 12 weeks pregnant and wants to have an abortion but we found out that she has a fibroid directly blocking her cervix. Is an abortion still possible?

Answer
Dear Andre,
This question is difficult to answer, because it depends on the location and size of the fibroid. Also, sometimes during pregnancy the location of the fibroid shifts in relation to the cervix. However, I can tell you that fibroids typically do not interfere with an abortion procedure, and she should be fine.  She will only know for sure when the doctor does an examination and ultrasound.  
I hope this is helpful,
Doctor Joan
