Fibroids and large uterus
I did an USG last month and got diagnosed with bulky uterus (10.7*4.5*4.4) and small calcific posterior myometrial fibroids ( one is 2.4*2.6 cm and another one is 1.6*1.5 cm) . Ovaries have a simple cyst (3.7*1.9 in left) and small right hydrosalpinx. I also had small cyst removed in 2019 measuring 0.8*0.3 cm. Attaching both reports (2019 and 2022). The doctor is suggesting surgery to remove fibroids. I do not have pain as such but I am constipated most times. ( Frequency of motion is once every 2 days) I maintain am exercise routine- walking for 30 mins every day. I am also diet conscious, reduced 10 kgs in past 4 months ( 67 to current 57). Should I proceed with surgery.please help

If you don't have heavy bleeding or pain abdomen you can wait as postmenopausal, both uterus and fibroids tend to shrink. If you take this option you will need a yearly follow up with ultrasound.

Fibroids rarely turn malignant but they keep becoming bigger in size and they may start giving symptoms.
Today you don't have any associated diseases like Diabetes or Hypertension or Heart problems but with advancing age these problems may come.
That's why doctors recommend that if a woman has fibroids and she has completed her family then she should get operated when conditions are safe and operation should be easy.
Otherwise when there is a need for Hysterectomy she will have medical problems which will make it difficult surgery.

Since its multiple fibroids, and if you have any symptoms. Then go for surgery.
Health Tips
Since your age is also 50 years, you can go for hysterectomy directly, and not just to remove your fibroids.
