A member asked:
I am 47 years old just diagnosied with uterine fibroids after going to the er with severe abdominal pain. i am also severely anemic should it be left ?

Multiple issues: Fibroids can be left alone if these are not causing pain or other discomfort. Anemia needs to be investigated and treated. You may have been having excessive menstrual bleeding and should take oral iron supplements. If your anemia is not due to menstrual bleeding it needs to be investigated. It would be prudent to consult your doctor for these issues.
