My sister was diagnosed with a fibroid in her uterus, and I've attached her reports for reference. What should our next steps be? Can it be treated with just medication, or is laparoscopy necessary? If surgery is needed, is it safe, and will the fibroids come back later? Would she need to have her uterus removed? I'd really appreciate your advice on the best course of action.

She can opt for Laparoscopic / Open myomectomy. Where only Fibroid will e removed. Her age is just 39yrs, so no need to remove uterus. As removal of uterus will give her Surgical manopause. Only thing, recurrence can not be predicted
