Hello,
thanks for using health care magic.
It is likely that you have a uterine myoma or fibroid.
Myoma turn to regress after menopause.
However, in symptomatic cases, it will not be a good idea to
consider waiting until menopause due to the discomfort
resulting from the symptoms.
At 42, with no desire for a child any longer, a hysterectomy
will be ideal as it will at the same time prevent against cervical
and uterine cancers.
However, you should discuss with your gynecologist for a
confirmation of the diagnosis and the options of management.
Best regards
