Unlikely: While this may work as an additional therapy to alleviate symptoms but there is no reason to suspect that acupuncture would shrink fibroids.

Not that I know of.: There are auricular protocols that assist with uterine problems but I am not personally aware of acupuncture procedures which decrease size of uterine fibroids.

Not likely: While acupuncture is used to treat symptomatic fibroids, there isn't any data out there that it will cause them to involute(shrink).
