Hello,

That is a considerably large fibroid and I don't believe medical manage will do you much good. I would suggest surgical treatment of the fibroid. Based on whether you want to have more children, you could consider the different options for surgery with your OBGYN. For the thickening of the endometrium, I would suggest you get an endometrial biopsy done to evaluate that as well.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
