During menopause, the levels of estrogen and progesterone decline significantly, which typically leads to a decrease in the size of uterine fibroids or halts their growth. However, some women may still experience fibroid growth or the persistence of existing fibroids due to individual hormonal fluctuations or other factors. It's important for women to discuss any concerns with their healthcare provider, as symptoms or changes in fibroids can vary widely.
During pregnancy, the placenta secretes hormones that help maintain the uterine lining. These hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone, support the growth and development of the endometrium to provide a nurturing environment for the growing fetus. If the pregnancy is successful, the placenta continues to produce these hormones throughout gestation to sustain the uterine lining.
No, having a fibroid will not make you bleed out of your urethra during your menstrual cycle (the cycle refers to the entire reproductive cycle). If you're bleeding out of your urethra then that suggests a urinary tract infection, see your doctor.
Menstruation is what happens when a woman doesn't get pregnant - after ovulation the uterine lining builds-up in preparation for possible pregnancy, if a woman doesn't get pregnant then menstruation occurs to shed the uterine lining so it can start fresh next cycle. During pregnancy the uterine lining is busy keeping the growing embryo/fetus safe, and women no longer ovulate.

The uterine walls
A fibroid is an abnormal finger-like growth of part of the uterine wall, and often develop after having children. The uterine wall is generally fairl smooth, but a fibroid makes the wall "lumpy" with finger-like protrusions. Fiboids have many small blood vessels and fiboids bleed easily, resulting in heavier periods. Fibroids do NOT detach or "pass" during menstruation. In fact, during the cycle, fiboids swell and can cause pelvic discomfort and heavy bleedling. The only way to get rid of fiboids is through medical treatment or surgery. Unfortunately, most doctors prefer hysterectomy as the preferred 'treatment', resulting in the uterus being removed. But, a newer and much less-used treatment is to shrink the fiboids using medication injected into the tissue. If you have heavy bleeding / or clotting, check with your physician. Make sure to be checked for anemia since fibroids do cause heavier blood loss and sometimes very long periods (example: for weeks at a time).
A "pregnancy knot" in the uterus is not a medically recognized term, but it may refer to a condition like a uterine fibroid or a mass that could affect pregnancy. These growths can be benign and may cause complications depending on their size and location. If there are concerns about such a condition during pregnancy, it's essential to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
