A member asked:

I have a large fibroid, i am also eight weeks pregnant and i am planning to have an abortion? what are the risks involved?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fibroid location: If the large fibroid is under the lining of the endometrium (submucosal) then there may be significant bleeding if the abortion is surgical an not medical.
