Types of fibroids:
1- intramural fibroids: these are located in the wall of the uterus. These are the most common types of fibroids.
2- subserosal fibroids: these are located outside the wall of the uterus. They can develop into pedunculated fibroids (stalks).
Subserosal fibroids can become quite large.
3- submucosal fibroids: these are located in the muscle beneath the lining of the uterus wall.
4- cervical fibroids: these are located in the neck of the womb (the cervix).
Causes of fibroids:
