Can fibroids grow in size and number?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. Absolutely.: They are estrogen mediated benign tumors and will grow in size and number until menopause. Whether they ever get big enough to cause any problems or need treatment is another issue. Most fibroids will not need treatment.
