Will menopause make your fibroids go away? The short answer is no.
While heavy menstrual bleeding often improves after menopause, fibroids don't simply disappear. Large fibroids can continue to cause symptoms like pelvic pressure, abdominal fullness, lower back pain, and frequent urination even after your periods stop.
Fibroids often stop growing or shrink after menopause, but persistent or growing fibroids should be evaluated by a gynecologic specialist, especially if you're experiencing new or worsening symptoms.
If fibroids are affecting your quality of life, don't assume you have to wait until menopause for relief. Talk to a gynecologic surgical specialist about your treatment options. 💛
