get an ultrasound done....and stop worrying about this...its very common and harmless
DR. ZAAR
An 8 mm fibroid is clinically insignificant. Growth from 5 to 8 mm is actually minimal and may even be just measurement error meaning no change. It is highly unlikely that this is the cause of your pain.

Talk with your gynecologist about other possible causes of pain and explore various treatment options.

Fibroids are common in 25% of women. Usually a fibroid so small does not cause a lot of symptoms. Is is possible you mean 8 cm? You need to be evaluated to see if there are any other issues that could be causing pain for you.
While I can understand that you may be concerned about fibroids, the tiny size of the ones you describes are really not clinically significant. It is doubtful it is the cause of your pain. Work with your doctor to search further for the cause and solutions.
This is a very minute growth and an 8 mm fibroid is a very small fibroid that is unlikely to be causing your pain. There are many other sources of pelvic and abdominal pain and you should check with your doctor for the source of the pain.

I am not sure what your question is, but I doubt an 8 mm fibroid would be the source of your pain. The difference between 0.5 cm and 8 mm is so small I would say your fibroid is very stable. It is important though to find out what is causing your pain. It may be from a non-gynecologic source. I would see an internist and get evaluated. Good luck
Fibroids are benign smooth muscle tumors and this size of this should not be causing pain. There could be other medical reasons for your symptoms based on the limited medical history and I would recommend an Internal Medicine physician for a complete physical. Best to you!
