Many women find that fibroids shrink after menopause due to a natural decrease in estrogen and progesterone levels. With reduced hormonal stimulation, fibroids often shrink in size, and symptoms like heavy bleeding and pelvic pain typically diminish.

• Menopausal Symptom Relief: As estrogen levels decline, fibroid-related symptoms may improve. However, for women on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after menopause, fibroids may persist or grow if they continue to receive estrogen.
• Managing Postmenopausal Symptoms: For women experiencing persistent fibroid symptoms after menopause, options like UFE or minimally invasive surgery may be recommended to relieve symptoms without major surgery.

Postmenopausal women experiencing rapid fibroid growth should consult their doctor, as it may require additional evaluation, though this is very rare.
