i have uterine fibroids. this is the second time, 7 years ago i had an emblasion treatment to get rid of fibroids that were causing sever bleeding and cramps. since that treatment i have not had a period, nor have i noticed any sign of menopause. i went to see an obgyn who told me fibroids don't cause pain, that must be from another source even though a sonogram told me i have a fibroid that is more than 1/3 the size of my uterus. that dr. moved away, and my symptons have decreased. can fibroids shrink over time?
