Can Menopause Trigger or Worsen Fibroids?

Effect of menopause on fibroid symptoms

Most women are concerned about the pain and discomfort that comes with fibroids and if they intensify after menopause. Pre-menopause fibroid symptoms are not entirely dissimilar to post-menopause fibroid systems.  

Post-menopausal women may not experience the typical intensity of menstrual cycles usually provoked by fibroids because they no longer have periods. 

Regardless, menopausal women may still experience pre-menopausal fibroid symptoms like stomach protrusions, stop-start bleeding, and regular urination. 

In some cases of fibroids after menopause, women still experience pain during sexual intercourse, difficulty in emptying their bladders, unusual tiredness, and pain in the leg or lower back.
