Hi and wecome to HCM Thanks for the query.
Fobroids are benign tumors and extremely rarely it can be cancerous so you dont have to be worried aout that. it can grow and cause symptoms such as pain and pressure in pelvic area and it can affect pregnancy and concieving. in these cases it is recommended to remove it surgically or do hysterectomy. if you are not in fertile age then i recommedn it to since it causes pain in your case.
Wish you good health. Regards
