What is the prognosis for uterine fibroids?
Many women who have fibroids have no symptoms or have only minor symptoms of heavy menstrual bleeding or pelvic pressure. However, fibroids tend to grow over time, and gradually cause more symptoms. Many women ultimately decide to have some form of treatment. Currently, hysterectomy is the most popular form of treatment. Source: The Gale Group. Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, 3rd ed.
