🎯 Fibroids Explained — Episode 2

Types of Fibroids

Not all fibroids are the same.

The symptoms, impact on fertility, and treatment options often depend on where the fibroid is located within the uterus.

There are three main types of fibroids:

🔴 1. Intramural Fibroids

These develop within the muscular wall of the uterus and are the most common type.

🟡 2. Submucous Fibroids

These grow beneath the lining of the uterine cavity and may significantly affect menstrual bleeding and fertility.

🟢 3. Subserosal Fibroids

These grow on the outer surface of the uterus and may cause pressure symptoms, depending on their size.

🤔 Why Does Fibroid Location Matter?

Understanding the type of fibroid is often more important than simply knowing its size.

The location can influence:

• Menstrual bleeding

• Pelvic pain and pressure

• Fertility

• Pregnancy outcomes

• Treatment decisions

In the next episodes, we will explore each type in detail and discuss how it may affect symptoms, fertility, and pregnancy.
