Am 42 years female. I have uterine fibroids. The size of the fibroid is intramural 80x60 mm and noted just above the cervix and also noted posterior subserosa fibroid noted 95 x 80 mm on the right side. Small seedling fibroids also seen in the uterus. Doctor suggested surgery. But I need a valuable advice from you. My question is in this case the fibroid is possible to cancer or not possible.

The chances of cancer in fibroid is very less. However if you have a large fibroid it can become larger and start causing symptoms such as pain or heavy bleeding. You have two options: 1. If you have no symptoms you can follow up with serial ultrasound every 6 months. If fibroid continue to grow you can remove it. 2, or you can remove fibroid or if you have finished your childbearing you can remove uterus. Both these surgeries can be done by laparoscopy.
