Varies widely: For some fibroids grow very slowly over many years. For others they grow very quickly. There is no way to know how fast or slow your grew unless you had another sonogram at some other point in your life where you could compare the growth over time.

Months to years: Fibroids grow at variable rates in different people. The majority of fibroids may increase in size from 10-30 % in a year.
