Patient's question:
Is uterine fibroids grow inside the uterus? Are there any outside the uterus? So, if uterine fibroids grow outside, is there a problem?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids can be classified based on their location. There is submucosal uterine fibroid, which grows inside the uterus. There is also intramural uterine fibroid, which grows in the middle layer of the uterine muscle. Another type is subserosal uterine fibroid, which grows on the outside of the uterus.Hello, so the location of uterine fibroid is important to consider. Submucosal and intramural fibroids often affect menstruation, while subserosal fibroids are more prone to cause pedicle torsion.
