Detailed Answer:
Hello,
thanks for the query to HCM,
iF ITS 18cm pedunculated fibroid in size, then it must be causing you symptoms of pressure and pain. It is advisable that you must get it surgically removed, either laparoscopically or through laparotomy. It will not reduce with medicines now.
Do you have any other symptoms?
Regards

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If this is a pedunculated subserosal fibroid and as you said asymptomatic, then hysterectomy is not required but if its inside uterus or sub-mucousal , then uterus may have to be removed.
As it seems outside uterine wall, with no bleeding or pain symptoms, and no irregularity , hysterectomy is not required concomitantly.
