Hello,
Welcome to HCM
No need to worry if only placenta just touching the internal os.This is grade 1 placenta praevia.As uterus enlarges in coming weeks,Placenta can go far from internal os.
Or it can also encroach on the internal os. So serial scans are necessary.
If the size of the Posterior uterine wall fibroid is small,no need to worry.But if its large in size,it may cause problems during delivery.
So, i would suggest you to have regular follow up scans and consult your gynecologist regularly.
Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
