Hi What happens if fibroids go untreated?
Size of the fibroid gradually increases and compress the nearby structures like ureter, bladder, rectum etc and cause symptoms like urinary and defecation problems in severe stage.... Some patients having bleeding excessively during menstruation and finally leads to anemia... So treat fibroid as early as possible...
If left untreated, fibroids can continue to grow, both in size and number. As these tumors take over the uterus the symptoms will become worse. The pain will increase. The heavy bleeding will become heavier and it may be accompanied by severe cramping.
Mainly symptoms and complications occurs depends upon the site where the fibroid is situated...
