Can taking next choice pill cause fibroids to grow larger ?also what is degeneration?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fibroids and OCP : Lower dose birth control pills do not seem to cause fibroids to grow any faster than they usually do. When they outgrow their supply of blood flow and oxygen, they can degenerate. This can cause extra pain and bleeding.
