Fibroid tumors can occur anytime after a woman begins to produce estrogen during puberty and extend into the early stages of menopause. As Susan Weed points out, "Estrogen levels can rise during the early menopausal years," resulting in fibroid growth.
Fibroid tumors tend to shrink and cause no symptoms for women who have completed menopause, according to the National Institute of Health. While the direct cause of fibroid tumors is unknown, it is thought that this is the result of lower estrogen levels present in the bodies of post-menopausal women.
During early menopause, fibroid tumors can form and grow as the result of estrogen production in a woman's body. Tumor formation and growth will diminish over the course of menopause with the result that late- and post-menopausal women do not present symptoms of fibroid tumors.
