What are the consequences of not operating on uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids with indication for surgery but without surgery may lead to further progression of the disease, which in turn may lead to anemia, compression symptoms, infertility and cancerous consequences. 1. Anemia: if uterine fibroids are indicated for surgery but not operated, it may lead to heavy menstruation and menstrual cycle disorders, which may cause anemia in the body. 2. Compression symptoms: the growth of uterine fibroids may also cause compression of bladder and intestines, resulting in frequent urination, urgent urination and poor bowel movement. 3. Infertility: some types of fibroids may affect the shape of the uterine cavity to a certain extent, which may lead to infertility, miscarriage and other serious problems. 4. Cancer: a few uterine fibroids grow relatively fast and may become cancerous and eventually evolve into uterine sarcoma, which is a malignant tumor with poor prognosis. If uterine fibroids are diagnosed and there are indications for surgery, it is recommended to carry out standardized treatment as early as possible in order to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
