If you’re considering a myomectomy to remove a fibroid, you’re likely to be concerned about how fast fibroids grow back. While 90% of women who undergo surgery experience major improvement, and many no longer have symptoms, the fact remains that 20% of women experience fibroids growing back within the first few years. This means that your surgeon might have missed some fibroids or removed them too early, which may result in future recurrences of symptoms or additional surgeries.
