A member asked:
How true when women gets closer to menopause, new fibroids will not form after multiple fibroids were removed by open myomectomy at age 44?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Anytime a uterus is present fibroids possibly can develop or grow. It becomes less of a problem as you age, especially if they have to start"from scratch" after having any visible ones removed. Fiboids largely depend on estrogen for growth, so as you get closer to menopause this level decreases.
