Can the uterus prolapse during menopause?

Patient's question:

Mother has been in a desperate situation for five years. Last month, because she wasn't feeling well, she went to the matchmaking clinic for an ultrasound. A small tumor was found during the thorough examination. Besides high blood pressure, mother often experiences dizziness and vertigo, which has also led to heart disease and stomach problems. She frequently feels short of breath and experiences stomach pain, poor digestion. What kind of help is needed: Does the uterus bend during menopause?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, currently it is believed that the reason for the recurrence of uterine fibroids may be related to the disorder of estrogen in the body, which means it has a certain relationship with ovarian function. Therefore, some people believe that after menopause, the decline in ovarian function will cause fibroids to gradually increase. Theoretically, this is the case, but through careful clinical diagnosis and observation, it is not very obvious that fibroids in postmenopausal women become larger. Most women's fibroids show no change before or after menopause. If the fibroids continue to grow after menopause, it is reasonable to promptly undergo further careful examination to pay attention to whether the fibroids have malignant transformation.
