Does a uterine fibroid automatically shrink after menopause?

Patient's question:

I have my period once, and the flow is light, so a single sanitary pad is enough each time. It hasn't come for nearly half a year. Is it menopause? Recently, I found that my uterine fibroid has expanded. I want to ask if uterine fibroids automatically shrink after menopause?

Doctor's answer:

At the age of 47, menopause is a bit early. Medically speaking, after menopause, fibroids will gradually expand. It is recommended to have a thorough examination at the hospital every 3 months. For fibroids of this size, they can be completely eliminated using black ointment and tumor-removing patches. There are several treatment methods for uterine fibroids, but since the symptoms of patients differ, the treatment methods also vary. Therefore, patients need to have timely and careful examination and diagnosis to treat the condition accordingly.
