What are the types of fibroids and where can they develop in the uterus?

To be precise, there are four fibroid types: Intramural Fibroids, Subserosal Fibroids, Submucosal Fibroids, and Pedunculated Fibroids.

Uterus Fibroid Positioning:

• Intramural Fibroids: develop within the uterus wall.
• Subserosal Fibroids: develop on the outer surface of the uterus.
• Submucosal Fibroids: develop just below the inner lining of the uterus.
• Pedunculated Fibroids: develop as attachments that can grow inside (pedunculated submucosal fibroids) or outside (pedunculated subserosal fibroids) the uterus.

Fibroids can develop anywhere in and around the uterus region.
