Myomectomy: If the submucosal fibroid is at least 50% in the uterine cavity, it should be removable by hysteroscopic myomectomy. This is a minimally invasive procedure using a small telescope which enters the uterus through the cervical canal and under direct vision with a video camera specialized instruments are used to remove the fibroid. Heavy cycles such as this are almost certainly due to the fibroid.

Fibroid & TTC: If you are trying to conceive, and the myoma is close to the uterine lining, we usually recommend removal if 3 cm or more. A single larger myoma is often removed easily with a robotic myomectomy. But, if multiple fibroids are present, then an open laparotomy may be considered.
