Hi,
If the fibroids are large enough so as to cause any discomfort, if they cause heavy bleeding, pain and if complications like torsion and infection occur, if they prolapse, then you would need a surgery. As you are already in the menopausal age, you may wait if you do not have any complications as fibroids usually regress after menopause without any future harm. You may take a second clinical opinion regarding surgery and have a regular follow up to see if there any changes. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
