Yes, perimenopausal hormone imbalance (estrogen dominance) often causes fibroids to grow. So why not fix the imbalance? Is he waiting until it gets so big that you'll require surgery? That won't be too long at this rate. Progesterone supplementation will balance your hormones and probably stop the growth of the fibroid. BJ
