Brief Answer:
Myomectomy advisable

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have reviewed the reports. MRI shows a significant submucosal fibroid, which is the cause of heavy menstrual bleeding. Heavy bleeding has led to decreased hemoglobin levels which is evident in the hemogram report. Blood sugar levels and thyroid levels are normal. In this scenario, myomectomy is advisable, preferably by hysteroscopic route.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
