I have fibroids. It never bothered me. they were tiny and never felt even though I had 3 kids. It was after having kids I decided to get on the pill. The pill made my fibroids grow. My gynecologist told me thats what caused them to grow and took me off the pill. Once they had grown, I felt them sometimes with a period like bad period cramps and other times on its own. And other than that, I only felt them a few times when I had a hard orgasm cus it contracts those muscles which cause the fibroids to contract too. So the worst is like bad period pains. So out of my personal experience, whatever you do, don't get on the pill cus taking it is apparently notorious for making the fibroids grow bigger. thats when they cause cramping. I have no idea what she meant by change in lifestyle cus I was never told any such thing. There really is no need to treat it. Although my gyn told me years ago that there was a new technology, expense... but just starting to be used in other countries, where they use lazer to burn or cut the blood supplies to the fibroid. Without those connections it can't get the blood and will shrivel up and die. thats done only if they are really big which is very unusual but dr said up to size of a tennis ball. Yours arent growing, no problem. If they do and you get really bad cramping all the time, see the dr. and ask about any new technologies for killing off the fibroid.
It's not cancer and does not become cancer...so don't worry
