Observation: These are usually benign; hoever, they can grow to large sizes and cause heavy bleeding. You GYN can monitor you with pelvic ultrasounds.

No cancer risk: Uterine fibroids do not turn into cancer and generally pose no significant health risk although they can have a part in painful heavy periods and can complicate pregnancies.
