Hi,
Fibroids is the most common benign masses in uterus. Just the presence of fibroids do not warrant removal. Submucosal fibroid will need removal, as it can interfere with baby attaching to uterus.Can be removed hysteroscopically.
You already have risk factors - Age >40 yrs, Overweight & Multiple fibroids .
Long gap since last pregnancy
Best would be removal of fibroids , if not pregnant within 3-4 mths , plan for IVF
All the best
