Fibroids, which begin to shrink after menopause, are benign tumors consisting of the muscle layer of the uterus, which are common in adult women between the ages of 30 and 40. Although it is not known what causes fibroids, they grow under the influence of hormonal conditions. It is very important to follow up the growing fibroids in terms of the possibility of being malignant.
Most fibroids do not cause any symptoms. The patient learns that he has fibroids during routine examination. Routine controls are important in patients without complaints.
