It is O.k to go for ultrasound tomorrow.If the fibroid is causing symptoms e.g severe or prolonged bleeding with the period, pain..etc it is better to remove it.fibroid may increase during this age due to excessive estrogen without progesterone because of anovulation and it usually decreases in size after menopause.
