Dr Pallavi Chalasani Podcast

Recurrent pregnancy loss, infertility, and uterine fibroids are closely connected topics - but what does medical evidence actually say about treatment and outcomes?

In this episode, we discuss the relationship between recurrent pregnancy loss, fibroids, infertility, and the role of laparoscopic myomectomy in fertility management. Learn how fibroid size, location, and type can influence conception, implantation, miscarriage risk, and pregnancy outcomes. Evidence suggests that fibroids affecting the uterine cavity are more strongly linked to fertility problems, while the benefits of surgery may vary depending on individual cases.

We also explore whether laparoscopic myomectomy improves fertility outcomes, who may benefit from surgery, common misconceptions around fibroids and infertility, and how specialists make evidence-based treatment decisions. Current research suggests that pregnancy outcomes after different myomectomy approaches may be comparable, making individualized treatment decisions important.
