Is the following description of a small uterine fibroid serious?

Patient's question:

Uterine size 595647, endometrial thickness 10; low echo mass 181716 observed on the anterior wall of the uterus, low echo mass 995 on the posterior wall, with clear boundaries and relatively uniform internal echoes; CDFI shows no obvious blood flow signal inside; left ovary visible; heterogenous fluid area 434130 observed in the right ovary, CDFI shows no obvious blood flow signal inside.

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids are common benign gynecological tumors. In general, fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters can be treated conservatively, as they may shrink on their own when estrogen levels in the body decline. Fibroids larger than 5 centimeters require surgical removal. For small fibroids, it is important to undergo regular check-ups, and treatment methods such as ultrasonic, hysteroscopy, or surgery can be chosen based on symptoms and fertility needs.
