Hello,
Thank you for your query.
A fibroid is a thickening in the muscular wall of the uterus and is a benign lesion.
It can vary is size and number and can be left alone if it does not cause problems.
I would get a detailed history of your symptoms, if present and based on this would judge if you need any intervention or not. This depends on your age and plans for having a baby.
In your case, if asymptomatic and not planning for a baby, there is nothing to worry about.
This just says that you have a fibroid about 4 cms in the back (posterior) wall of your uterus.
Symptoms can include heavy bleed /pain while menstruating or even in between, difficulty conceiving, back pressure.
Please see your OBGYN for a clinical exam and further treatment options.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good health
