Will uterine fibroids of 1 cm disappear?

Uterine fibroids are a common disease among middle-aged women, and some women develop uterine fibroids during menopause. The treatment of uterine fibroids is usually surgery, but surgery cannot be chosen for multiple uterine fibroids. Some uterine fibroids may be very small. Will they disappear automatically?

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors. Many patients do not care about them, thinking that they have already given birth and that uterine fibroids do not cause any discomfort, and therefore do not take any treatment measures for them. Since fibroids are hormone-dependent diseases, they will shrink as menopausal hormone levels decrease. Therefore, generally speaking, fibroids will shrink near or after menopause. Although uterine fibroids will shrink, it does not mean that they will heal without treatment or even disappear automatically.

Moreover, uterine fibroids have the risk of causing infertility, because this is related to the size of the fibroids and the location of their growth. For example, fibroids in the uterine cornu can cause the fallopian tubes to twist and deform, affecting the passage of sperm or fertilized eggs, greatly reducing the chance of conception.

Symptoms such as irregular menstruation, compression, pain, increased vaginal discharge, and circulatory system caused by uterine fibroids are very harmful to women's health. These symptoms and hazards of uterine fibroids cannot be ignored. Although uterine fibroids are benign, they have a certain chance of becoming cancerous.

Experts say that although uterine fibroids are mostly benign tumors, there is a 5/1000 chance of turning into malignant tumors. As a result, uterine fibroids not only affect women's health, but also threaten the patient's life.

Therefore, most people believe that ovarian function declines after menopause and fibroids will gradually shrink. However, after observing a large number of clinical cases, it was found that the fibroids of postmenopausal women did not shrink significantly. In most women, the fibroids did not change from before menopause, and some even continued to grow.
