I'm currently 21 weeks and 5 days into my pregnancy, and I'm a bit concerned about my anomaly scan results. It mentioned that my cervix length is 3.14 cm. Is this normal, or should I be worried about any potential issues? Could you help me understand what this means?

I have three fibroids in my uterus and the largest one is 6cm. Is there any way to treat them naturally or is surgery the only option? I'm really worried about what to do next

While you can't cure fibroids on your own, several treatment options are available, and surgery is not always the first or only choice. For a 6cm fibroid, your doctor might recommend a myomectomy (surgical removal of the fibroids) or other procedures like uterine artery embolization, depending on your symptoms and overall health. Additionally, non-surgical options like hormonal treatments or watchful waiting might be considered
