A member asked:
Can fibroids turn into cancer if they last more than a year or you stay with them longer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No they do not: Fibroids do not typically turn into cancer .They can remain in the body many years and cause no probelms in most women. If they are large they produce symptoms of pain or bleeding. Cancer must be very rare if at all.
