What are the hazards of uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

What are the hazards of uterine fibroids? What are the hazards for women after suffering from uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Myoma detachment

Subserosal uterine fibroids can twist at the pedicle, causing acute abdominal pain. In severe cases, if surgical treatment is not performed immediately, free myomas may form due to the pedicle breaking. Of course, the twisted fibroids can also drag the entire uterus, causing axial torsion of the uterus (often occurring near the internal orifice of the cervical canal).
