They most often wait to do a hysterectomy for fibroids unless there are indications that the situation could become adverse. For example, once they grow big, they may put pressure on the bladder and ureters. This may result in urinary infections, obstructions, and even kidney damage.

Large fibroids can put pressure on the bowel which may cause constipation. Furthermore, prolonged heavy bleeding can cause severe anemia and may make it necessary for women to have a hysterectomy for fibroids.
Additionally, fibroids can, in some instances, cause severe pain during periods or intercourse. This is why some women choose to have a hysterectomy in the hope of relieving the pain.
