Calcification of Fibroids

[Guest guest]

There were some posts about this a while ago. I just spoke with the

radiologist that did my ultrasound of last March to ask her to explain her

comment that some of the fibroid was calcified. She said that there can be

areas of calcification and areas of growth on the same fibroid. The

calcified areas are old and beginning to shrink, even though there are

calcium deposits in them. The areas of growth can still grow in response to

estrogen. If a fibroid is calcified at menopause, it can still shrink.

(That's how I understood her comments.)
