Fibroid are abnormal growths that develop in or on a woman’s uterus. Sometimes, these tumors become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods. In other cases, they cause no signs or symptoms at all. The growths are typically benign (non-cancerous).
Different Types of Fibroids
Different fibroid develop in different locations in and on the uterus.
1. Intramural Fibroid
These types appear within the lining of the uterus (endometrium). Intramural fibroids may grow larger and actually stretch your womb. According to the U.S. Health and Human Services Office on Women’s Health, they are the most common type of fibroid and are found in about 70 percent of women of childbearing age
2. Subserosal Fibroid
Subserosal fibroids form on the outside of your uterus, which is called the serosa. They may grow large enough to make your womb appear bigger on one side.
3. Pedunculated Fibroid
When subserosal tumors develop a stem (a slender base that supports the tumor), they become pedunculated fibroids.
4. Submucosal Fibroid
These types of tumors develop in the inner lining (myometrium) of your uterus. Submucosal tumors are not as common as other types, but when they do develop, they may cause heavy menstrual bleeding and trouble conceiving.
Who Is at Risk for Fibroid?
Women are at greater risk for developing fibroids if they have one or more of the following risk factors:
pregnancy
a family history of fibroids
being over the age of 30
being of African American descent
having a high body weight
