(2) Myomas that protrude toward the surface of the uterus are called subserosal uterine fibroids, accounting for about 20% of the total. Their surface is covered only by the uterine serosa. When the fibroids continue to grow outward and only one pedicle is connected to the uterus, it is called a pedunculated subserosal fibroid, which is one of the classifications of uterine fibroids.

(3) Classification of uterine fibroids There are also fibroids that grow into the uterine cavity, called submucosal uterine fibroids. About 10%-15% of the total number have their surface covered only by the mucosa layer. Submucosal fibroids are easy to form pedicles, which are like foreign bodies in the uterine cavity, stimulating uterine contractions and causing irregular lower abdominal pain. If submucosal uterine fibroids are gradually discharged into the vagina through the cervix, the patient may feel a lump in the vagina.
