Many women are silently living with uterine fibroids without even realising it — and for those planning a family, the hidden risks can feel overwhelming once discovered. Understanding what causes fibroids to grow is where the journey to better health begins; from hormonal imbalances and genetic factors to poor lifestyle habits, fibroids thrive in conditions that often go unaddressed for years. When left undiagnosed or untreated, what causes fibroids to grow become deeply connected — affecting a woman's ability to conceive naturally, sustain a healthy implantation, or carry a pregnancy to full term without complications. Perhaps the most pressing concern for women who are already pregnant or actively trying is: can fibroids affect pregnancy? Yes, they can — but the outcome largely depends on the size, number, and location of the fibroids, as well as how early they are detected and managed. With timely medical intervention, advanced minimally invasive surgical options, and the guidance of a skilled specialist, fibroids do not have to stand between you and the family you dream of. Dr. K. Shilpi Reddy, Clinical Director of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at KIMS Cuddles, Hyderabad, has helped hundreds of women navigate fibroid-related challenges and go on to experience safe, healthy pregnancies — and she can help you too.
