Fibroids are non-cancerous tumours that grow in the muscle walls of the uterus. These growths consist of muscle and fibrous tissue and may be small, barely noticeable, large, or uncomfortable. Fibroids are a common condition, with many women, particularly in their reproductive years, affected.

Many women with fibroids do not have any symptoms, but other women with fibroids can experience various issues like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, urinary frequency, and infertility. Uterine fibroid surgery is recommended when these symptoms become severe or out of control.

Types of Uterine Fibroids

Different types of fibroids depend on where they are in the uterus. These types assist women in understanding their condition and what treatment methods are available:

  1. Submucosal Fibroids grow just under the uterus’s lining and may even stick out into the cavity. They often cause heavy bleeding and difficulty with pregnancy.
  2. Intramural Fibroids: The most common type of fibroid grows within the muscular wall of the uterus. It can cause pain, heavy periods, and fertility problems.
  3. Subserosal Fibroids: These grow outside the uterus and can press on the nearby organs, which may lead to pelvic pain and bloating.

Pedunculated Fibroids: These are attached to the uterus by a stalk-like structure and can twist and cause acute pain.
