Fibroids are stimulated to grow by estrogen (a hormone produce by the ovaries) and blood flow. During menopause, as the estrogen level naturally declines, the fibroid tumor often shrinks on its own. RISK FACTORS FOR DEVELOPING FIBROIDS The following risk factors may contribute to development of fibroids: -           Family history. -           Ethnicity. African American women are 2-3 times more likel
