Unclear: I am unclear what ur question is. There is no direct relationship between fibroids and perimenopause. Fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus. Estrogen levels, age, race, and genetics may play a role in the development and growth of fibroids. See your clinician if they cause severe pain or heavy bleeding. Menopause usually leads to necrosis and resolution of fibroids due to estrogen decline.
