Why Fibroids Can Return and What You Can Do About It
Fibroid removal surgery can bring significant relief, but it’s not a permanent fix for everyone. In this video, Dr. Leigh Rosen and reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Lucky Sekhon discuss why fibroids sometimes return—and how to approach recurrence without blame or fear.
- Fibroids are genetically driven—lifestyle alone doesn’t cause them
- Regrowth is common, especially in younger patients or those with multiple fibroids removed
- Some patients notice symptom relief with changes in diet, exercise, and vitamin D levels
- Monitoring and long-term care matter—every case is different
- Not all regrowth means you’ll need another surgery
If Fibroids Return, You Still Have Options
Fibroid recurrence doesn’t mean your previous surgery wasn’t successful. Many patients experience long-term relief before any new growth appears.
If fibroids do return, your care team can reassess with imaging and recommend next steps based on your symptoms and goals—whether that’s monitoring, medical management, or another procedure.
