Does uterine fibroids still grow after menopause?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
One year without a menstrual period, then it came back again. Is this normal during menopause? What kind of help do you want: What is the best way to treat it?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: It is normal for women in menopause to experience this condition.
Hello: This condition may reappear during menopause. After menopause, if uterine fibroids are relatively small, it is advisable to monitor them closely. Conduct an ultrasound examination once a year or annually to observe the growth of the fibroids. If they do not grow significantly, surgery may not be necessary. This is because estrogen levels decrease after menopause, the uterus gradually shrinks, and fibroids may also shrink.
For severe cases of uterine fibroids, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only.
We hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you.
