General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Since you have never been pregnant & will be wanting babies in future, it is recommended to get the uterine fibroids removed if you have been diagnosed. Fibroids may affect your fertility in the long run & may prevent embyro from attaching, may cause miscarriage or reduce the chances of conceiving. After the fibroid has been removed your periods will get regularized. However, in many women the fibroid do not grow. Your gynecologist may wait and watch while treating with medications like GnRH agonists, tranexamic acid, oral contraceptives, etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
