I found out I have a 9 mm intramural myoma in my uterus and I'm 26 and unmarried. Is this size dangerous and what kind of impact could it have? Also, if I need surgery, are there any risks or harmful effects I should know about?

A 9mm intramural fibroid, while a benign growth, doesn't usually cause immediate danger, but it's essential to monitor it. At your age and with no current fertility goals, the immediate impact is likely minimal. However, if you plan for future pregnancies or experience any concerning symptoms (heavy periods, pain), seek medical advice to discuss potential treatment options and manage any future risks

Question

Can a person get pregnant with one ovary and fallopian tube?

I had an ultrasound yesterday that showed a right ovarian mass measuring 43.5x20.7mm with two hemorrhagic cysts (15.0x12.0mm and 9.2x8.9mm) and no dominant follicle. The left ovary is normal. I'm really worried do I need surgery to remove the cysts or can they be treated with medication?
