A member asked:
What does it mean when friboids grow slightly over a 3year period when you are in menopause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fibroid growth: Fibroids typically stop growing in menopause and often shrink somewhat. If there seems to be enlargement, then you should be checked by a gyn specialist and have endovaginal ultrasound. Sometimes increase size is not real and appears so just because of different technique in measuring.
