  • Fibroids1: What advice do you give women before deciding on surgery?
    Dr. Richard Reed: It is important that women understand fibroid treatment is only necessary if symptoms are present, which only occurs in a quarter of the women with fibroids. If there are symptoms that are attributed to fibroids, I advise women on what their options are.
    Dr. Richard Reed
