Can uterine fibroids grow in size?
14 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Fibroids grow all the time, in part due to female hormones. They stop growing from menopause or stopping your hormones with a Lupron (leuprolide) shot. Some fibroids grow slowly; fibroids in some women grow quickly.

Yes: As long as you are making estrogen then your fibroids can grow.
