Re: fibroids growth rate? To Brk & everyone

[Guest guest]

I am not sure what is meant by " fibroids grow due [to] bleeding so

the more you bleed the more the fibroids will grow. " I have never

heard this and wonder if you could post where this info came from? I

had a huge fibroid (25 cm) removed, but I had never had heavy

bleeding. So, I don't think the growth was related to bleeding. My

fibroid took about 9 years to grow from 4 cm, when it was discovered,

to 25 cm.
