My doctor I developed fibroids late. I’m 8 years post menopause and about once or twice a year I get twinges in my pelvic area. Doctor told me it was the fibroids shrinking. They dry up after menopause, right along with your ovaries. 
It’s such a worry when it happens. I also have a small uterine fibroid, post menopause by 3 years and I get flare ups a couple of times in the year that can be painful. It causes me to feel a bit weak and worried. Gynae told me the pressure or the flare is due to them shrinking as they do post meno. I also want this experience over with. Take heart; let’s believe it will pass.
