In most cases, fibroids do not go away on their own. According to research, only a small percentage of fibroids will shrink without medical intervention.
Fibroid Behavior Over Time
Most fibroids will either remain the same size or grow larger over time. Here’s a breakdown:
- Spontaneous Shrinkage: Only about 10% of fibroids shrink on their own. (Reference: 22-Jun-2022)
- Growth: The majority of fibroids will continue to grow.
- No Change: Some fibroids may remain the same size.
Therefore, while it's possible for fibroids to shrink without treatment, it is not a common occurrence.
