I think the missed approach needs to be initiated. How is that best done?

Thank you in advance for your advice.
In all my years of flying, I've never had this happen. The way I see it you either:

1. Call missed to the tower and if they issue instructions for a go around, you have essentially canceled the landing clearance.

2. Do nothing because it's more dangerous to wrestle with the controls that close to the ground then handle it afterwards.

Also, was there a reason for going below mins? Out of gas, passenger dying, fire that can't be extinguished, etc.
