Fibroids may affect fertility by blocking the uterus and fallopian tubes, which can make it difficult to conceive or may put any subsequent pregnancy at risk for miscarriage or early labor.

Fertility Treatment and Fibroids: Why Choose Johns Hopkins

• Our experts at the Johns Hopkins Fertility Center specialize in the evaluation and management of fibroids in patients experiencing infertility. We tailor our treatment programs to the specific needs of women with fibroids to maximize the chances of pregnancy.     
• If surgical treatment is needed, we work collaboratively with the surgeons of the Johns Hopkins Division of Advanced Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, who have specialized training in minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques to treat your fibroids while maintaining your fertility.   

Fertility Treatment and Fibroids: What to Expect

At your initial consultation, you will meet with a fertility specialist and discuss your personal health history, experience attempting to conceive and goals for fertility treatment. We will perform diagnostic tests to determine the extent that fibroids are impacting your fertility — and rule out any other potential causes. Based on these results, your fertility specialist may recommend surgery prior to beginning fertility treatments.

If surgery is recommended, we will work closely with specialists in the Division of Advanced Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery to determine the best course of action for managing your fibroids while also supporting your fertility goals.

When your fibroids have been properly managed and you are ready to begin your fertility treatment, we will meet with you to review the treatment options available to you and customize a treatment plan.
