Patient's question:
I carefully checked and found that I have uterine fibroids. It is said that uterine fibroids are divided into several types. I would like to ask what are the types of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor in women of reproductive age, with onset typically occurring around the age of 35. Generally, there are no clinical diagnostic symptoms, and they are often discovered during routine health check-ups. Depending on the location of the fibroid growth, they are generally classified into subserous uterine fibroids, intramural fibroids, submucosal fibroids, or cervical fibroids. All types of fibroids may cause symptoms such as excessive menstrual bleeding, abdominal masses, lower back pain, and a sensation of heaviness.
