Small Built, Bulging Belly. Diagnosed Large Fibroid. Recommended Surgery/wait Till Menopause. Wait For Menopause/go Under Knife?

I was told that I have a large fibroid. I am small in build (115-118 pounds) but my belly is bulging. My doctor told me I can get the fibroid out or wait til menopause when the fibroid will gradually shrink. I don't want to take the risk of having an operation. He recommended that I see a specialist. What do you think? Should I have surgery, or speak to a g. specialist to monitor the fibroid?
