I'm not married and have a fibroid measuring 28mm to 38mm. I was told it can't be cured without surgery but the gynecologist I visited didn't prescribe any medication. What should I do about this situation?

It's understandable to be concerned about fibroids, especially if you're experiencing symptoms or have been told they can't be cured without surgery. While a 28mm to 38mm fibroid is a significant size, it doesn't necessarily mean surgery is the only option. You should seek a second opinion from another gynecologist to explore different treatment approaches, including medication and potentially less invasive surgical options
