A member asked:
How big in size should fibroids be before one considers operating them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Size/symptoms: Fibroids that are greater than a 12 week size uterus(3 month pregnancy size equivalent) will put pressure on the bladder and surrounding organs. Additionally, fibroids that are symptomatic producing pain or excessive bleeding are surgical candidates. Surgery choices can include removal of the fibroids only(myomectomy) if considering further children or hysterectomy(uterine removal if not.
