Hopeless, Helpless and Confused
We worry about fibroids that protrude into the lining of the uterus as
causes of miscarriages, not the fibroids that are limited to the outer
surface of the uterus. If yours is so big it fills the whole inner, mid
and outer surfaces, then it may be a problem, otherwise, I do not think
this is the culprit. Hope this helps...Dr. von Almen
