A member asked:
Can uterine fibroids grow/expand during pms and then shrink back down after period, or do they remain constant size all cycle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More or less : constant over that short interval. However, the uterus itself, may increase in size as much as 50% around the time just prior to the next period. This could make the fibroids more noticeable. If fibroids, are actually fast growing this needs evaluation, exam and ultrasound with your doctor as soon as this is noticed.
