A member asked:
Would switching from a higher dose of birth control to an ultra low dose(lo loestrin fe) slow the growth of fibroids? or does the pill not affect them
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prob no effect: It is not likely that changing the dose of a birth control pill would have a significant effect on the growth rate of a uterine fibroid. The management of fibroids should be based on size, location, symptoms and fertility plans.
