You can try medical management as the fibroid is not very big and it's also a not fasty growing lesion.If the constipation is related to fibroids and not getting relieved by medical management then in that case you can stop consider surgery as a result of failed medical management

Your symptoms are not due to your fibroids. In other words you may not be entirely symptom free even after surgery.
You didn't mention if you are married or not and if married, has Infertility been an issue with you.

Do you have any complaints of heavy bleeding during periods. Is your pelvic pain during periods or during all times?
Are you married and have kids?
Based on these answers we will be better able to decide a plan of management in your case.

Next Steps
You may consult me for further treatment plan.
Health Tips
Constipation seems unlikely due to fibroids based on their location as per your scan findings. If it is persistent and bothersome you can consult a physician or a gastro enterologist.
