Vagifem pessary: Any source of estrogen can increase the size of fibroids, but if you did not have problems with fibroids prior to menopause, it is not likely that a "10 mg. Vagifem" will stimulate fibroid growth to the point where one has symptoms or discomfort. The scan will determine the true cause of this.

Thank you. If there is a finding of underlying myometrial mass found in pelvic/transvaginal ultrasound, is this considered fibroid or polyp? Will this mass go away on its own? It is 1.8x1.6 cm in size. Possible it can go away before menopause?
