Will an 8mm uterine fibroid disappear?

If a woman of childbearing age has an 8mm uterine fibroid, it is unlikely to disappear. However, if a postmenopausal woman has an 8mm uterine fibroid, it may disappear. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. The possibility of disappearance is not very high: some patients have uterine fibroids, which may be related to the level of sex hormones in the body. Women of childbearing age have normal ovarian function and relatively high levels of sex hormones in the body. Uterine fibroids may gradually increase in size and usually do not disappear.

2. May disappear: After menopause, women’s ovarian function gradually declines, the level of sex hormones in the body gradually decreases, and uterine fibroids may slowly shrink and may gradually disappear.

8mm uterine fibroids are relatively large, and symptoms such as increased menstrual volume, prolonged menstrual period, lower abdominal pain, and lumbar pain may occur. In severe cases, complications such as hemorrhagic anemia may occur. According to the doctor's advice, you can use drugs such as gestrinone capsules, dydrogesterone tablets, and leuprorelin acetate microspheres for injection for treatment, and perform surgical resection if necessary. If a postmenopausal woman has an 8mm uterine fibroid without obvious symptoms, you can consider observation and treatment, and regular check-ups are sufficient. Specific suggestions can be followed according to the doctor's advice.
