I'm 3 months pregnant and just found out I have an 8 cm posterior wall uterine fibroid. Is this dangerous? Do I need urgent surgery? I'm hoping to have another baby in the future, and my first delivery was a C-section. If I do need surgery, I'm worried about having multiple procedures like removing the fibroid first, then another for the baby, and maybe even a hysterectomy later. That would mean 4 surgeries in my lifetime. What should I do?

My mom has two large fibroids around 2.6 to 2.8 cm and the report says there are multiple fibroids. She's dealing with heavy bleeding during her periods but no other symptoms. Is there a way to treat this without surgery or an operation?

Your mother's fibroids, even if 2.6 to 2.8 cm, can contribute to heavy bleeding, and the presence of multiple fibroids can amplify this. A doctor should evaluate the severity of her symptoms and assess the location and size of the fibroids to determine the best course of treatment
