Hello, i'm a 49 year old going through menopause with fibroids. what should i expect to happen to the fibroids without blood being supplied? thanks

Usually shrink : Most fibroids will shrink a little after menopause as the hormone "fertilizer" is removed. Some stay the same. It is rare for them to increase in size.
