What are the types of uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are also called uterine smooth muscle tumors . In traditional Chinese medicine , uterine fibroids are believed to be caused by internal injuries caused by the seven emotions, dysfunction of the internal organs, and stagnation of qi and blood . What are the types of uterine fibroids ? According to the different parts of the uterus where the fibroids are located , they can be divided into the following categories :

1. Intramural fibroids: fibroids are located within the muscular wall and are surrounded by the muscular layer . This type of fibroids is the most common type at the onset of the disease, accounting for about 60-70 %.

2. Subserous myoma Intramural myoma develops toward the serosa and protrudes from the surface of the uterus , directly contacting the serosa layer , accounting for about 20%. If it protrudes into the space between the two leaves of the broad ligament , it is an intra-broad ligament myoma .

3. Submucosal fibroids Intramural fibroids grow into the uterine cavity , protrude into the uterine cavity , and are in direct contact with the mucosal layer , accounting for about 10%-15%. This tumor can gradually enlarge and deform the uterine cavity , and often has a pedicle connected to the uterus . If the pedicle is long, it can block the cervical opening or fall out of the vagina .

4. Cervical fibroids are rare . They grow in the cervix of the uterus . Because they grow in a low position , they can be embedded in the pelvic cavity , causing compression symptoms , making surgical removal difficult and easily damaging the ureter and bladder . Uterine fibroids are often multiple , and the above different types of fibroids can occur simultaneously in the same uterus , which is called multiple uterine fibroids .
