Do Uterine Fibroids Shrink Over Time?

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?

Hi,

Fibroids sometimes shrink spontaneously without treatment. Not all fibroids require treatment.

You can consult a gynecologist in case of symptoms like pain or bleeding.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
