Does an uterine fibroid still grow after menopause?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Will uterine fibroids still grow after menopause?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, after menopause, uterine fibroids will no longer grow rapidly and will gradually expand. However, it is important to pay attention to follow-up examinations. If follow-up examinations show that the uterine fibroids are slowly expanding, no special care is needed. If follow-up examinations reveal that the uterine fibroids are growing rapidly and are still below 5 centimeters, and if a sensation of downward pressure or heaviness reappears, surgical treatment may be necessary.
