Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus. There are several types of fibroids, classified based on their location within the uterus:
1. Intramural Fibroids: These are the most common type and develop within the muscular wall of the uterus.
2. Subserosal Fibroids: These grow on the outer surface of the uterus and can sometimes develop a stem-like structure, making them pedunculated fibroids.
3. Submucosal Fibroids: These are less common and develop in the inner lining of the uterus, which can cause heavy menstrual bleeding and trouble conceiving.
4. Cervical Fibroids: These are rare and develop in the cervix, the lower part of the uterus.
Each type of fibroid can cause different symptoms and may require different treatment approaches.
