How To Remove Uterine Fibroids?

MY NAME IS SANTHI AND AM 47 YEARS OLD. AM SINGLE. RECENTLY WENT FOR A SCAN AND THE DOCTOR DISCOVERD A FIBROID AROUND 9-10 CM. HOW SOON SHOULD I REMOVE IT? I HAVE DECIDED TO REMOVE ONLY THE FIBROID AND NOT THE WHOLE UTERUS. HOWEVER, THE DOCTOR HAD CAUTIONED ME THAT IF HEAVY BLEEDING WERE TO OCCUR DURING THE PROCEDURE, SHE MAY HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHOLE UTERUS. YOUR RESPONSE WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED
