Postmenopausal uterine fibroids will also grow

In general, uterine fibroids do not continue to grow after menopause.

Uterine fibroids may be benign tumors formed by proliferation of uterine smooth muscle due to high estrogen levels in the body. After menopause, ovarian function declines and estrogen levels in the body decrease significantly, which may cause uterine fibroids to shrink or regress. Therefore, patients with uterine fibroids may not continue to grow after menopause.

However, patients should also be monitored regularly. If uterine fibroids continue to grow, abdominal pain, irregular vaginal bleeding and other symptoms are found, uterine fibroids should be suspected of malignant transformation.
