Brief Answer:
Surgery is the only remedy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have gone through the report you have attached.

The fibroid measures aound 12 cm in one dimension. Such a large fibroid must be removed surgically only.

I am sorry to say that there are no medications which help in reducing the fibroid size or treating it completely.

Hope, I answered your query.

Please do ask if any doubt.

Brief Answer:
Depends on the layer of the uterus involved

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

The decision of whether or not the uterus has to be removed is made depending on the layer of the uterus in which the fibroid exists. Based on the report I believe that uterus may have to be removed. Please discuss with your gynecologist about the same to be sure of.

Yes, there are chances of fibroids recurring even after removal.

Wish you good health.
