Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 , Doctors don't know which fibroids will grow and which ones don't. It isn't entirely up to the physical appearance of the fibroid but is rather more related to 1) your physiology/endocrinology and 2) the hormone receptors present in which ratios in the fibroid itself. Doctors don't evaluate these things at this point in time in a very detailed manner for most women with fibroids (unless you are dealing with infertility or other hormonal issues such as hypothyroidism) and they certainly wouldn't be able to eyeball it and come to a solid conclusion. There is a fibroid growth study being conducted in North Carolina right now (or was it South Carolina) so hopefully they will soon have more information about size, location and placement/type. > HYSTERECTOMY WAIVER I am consenting to a myomectomy by Dr.X. I want every possible measure taken to remove all fibroids, especially those which, in Dr. X's experience, are most certain to grow bigger and necessitate another surgery.
