This article is devoted to the treatment of uterine fibroid in patients planning pregnancy. The role of uterine fibroid as a cause of infertility, indications for performing myomectomy in patients with infertility, features of pregnancy and childbirth in pregnant women with uterine fibroid are discussed. Attention is also paid to the technical issues of performing myomectomy and the use of pre-surgery drugs that reduce the size of the uterine fibroid nodes. In addition, the article highlights the features of pregnancy and labor in the presence of a scar on the uterus after myomectomy, after uterine artery embolization and focused ultrasound ablation of the nodes.
