Do fibroids go away on their own?

Fibroids do not usually go away by themselves. Fibroid growth is usually due to endogenous or exogenous stimulation, resulting in an abnormal increase in fibroid cells, so fibroids do not disappear on their own, but only grow slowly. However, the growth of fibroids is relatively slow, and smaller fibroids usually do not require special treatment and can be observed regularly. As fibroids grow, they need to be treated if they affect menstruation or cause symptoms of pressure, such as frequent urination or constipation, or if they lead to abnormal menstruation and a significant increase in menstrual flow. The decision of whether a fibroid needs surgery or what type of procedure to perform depends on the location of the growth, the size of the fibroid, the associated co-morbid symptoms, and whether it is affecting menstruation. Smaller fibroids, especially those under 5 cm, do not require special treatment because they have no obvious symptoms and should be followed up regularly. If it is a submucosal myoma, which obviously affects menstruation, the myoma should be treated regardless of its size. As for subplasma myomas, they may be so large that they do not affect menstruation, but when the tumor increases to a certain extent, there will be associated pressure symptoms or myoma degeneration, and surgery is also required.
