Understanding the Different Types of Fibroids: What You Need to Know

Description

Fibroids come in various types, each affecting the body in different ways. The main types of fibroids include intramural, subserosal, submucosal, and pedunculated fibroids. Intramural fibroids grow within the muscular walls of the uterus, while subserosal fibroids develop on the outer surface. Submucosal fibroids form inside the uterine cavity, and pedunculated fibroids are attached by a stalk either outside or inside the uterus. Understanding the type of fibroids you have is crucial in determining the best treatment option to alleviate symptoms and improve your health.
