A member asked:
What does birth control do to fibroids on the uterus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Decrease bleeding: Depends on the size of the fibroid within the uterus, pills can help decrease the bleeding and maintain the fibroid size and sometimes shrink it. However, large fibroids may not respond to medications and may require other medications or surgical procedures. best wishes Dr M
