What did your gyn sa: Say ? Because either your gyn did the ultrasound in the office or ordered the us or if you had it done through the er the er doc should have told you it means you have no problems with your ovaries and can't tell by your question if your uterus measures 5.3 cm which would be small with small fibroids or the fibroid is 5.3 cm please see your gyn or a gyn to discuss as your gyn will have the report.

You have a fibroid!: Anyone can get a uterine fibroid, which is an overgrowth of muscle cells in the shape of a ball. Like moles on the skin, they come in different sizes/shapes; RARELY cancerous. You only need surgery if you have symptoms like pain/pressure/incontinence/bleeding/bloating. Size/location don't matter. Lupron (leuprolide) or embolization are ways to control w/out surgery. US follow up is very important.
