What's going on with my mom's scan results? It mentions a bulky anterior wall fibroid and describes the sizes of her uterus and ovaries, but I'm not sure what this all means for her health. She's 54 and I'm worried about what to do next. Could you please explain?

Based on the ultrasound report, your 54-year-old mother has a bulky anterior wall fibroid (5.1x5.4x5.6cm) and normal ovarian echo patterns; considering her age, treatment options may include watchful waiting, hormonal therapy, or surgical interventions like myomectomy or hysterectomy, but it's essential to consult a gynecologist
