What happens when Fibroids are left untreated?

The conventional wisdom is that if a patient has no symptoms, treatment may not be needed. However, many women don’t actually understand the extent to which Fibroids may be affecting their lives until they undergo a focused evaluation with a Fibroids specialist. Regardless of how small Fibroids may be on initial discovery, they will likely continue to grow and become more prone to contribute to worsening symptoms. These may include heavy menstrual bleeding, symptomatic anemia, and bulk symptoms such as constipation, bloating, pain during intercourse, increased urinary frequency, and urgency. They may also potentially provoke miscarriages or impaired fertility. As such, you should consult your interventional radiologist and Fibroid specialist to determine if and when treatment may be best for you.
