Likely to grow: Most of the time they will continue growing. Surgery is recommended when causing too much pain, heavy bleeding and anemia.

Yes they keep growin: Until you go through menopause. They are estrogen mediated tumors and they will continue to grow until there is reduced estrogen, such as in menopause. Look into ufe to see how to treat fibroids without surgery or losing your uterus.
