Uterine fibroid of 2cm, should i be concerned?

Probably OK: A 2cm fibroid may not cause any symptoms at all. The only reason to be concerned would be if you have significant pelvic pain or heavy bleeding with your periods.

Unlikely: 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.
