Accepted Answer

For a fibroid of that size, surgical intervention is usually recommended to address the issue effectively. Homeopathic medicines may not be able to shrink a fibroid of that size significantly. I would advise consulting with a gynecologist to discuss the surgical options available, such as a myomectomy or hysterectomy, based on your individual case.
