Uterine Fibroids – Diagnosis & Treatment

Discussion

After identifying uterine fibroids, your doctor will discuss with you about the current situations. In addition to the location, size, and number of growths, he or she will tell you the exact type that you have. This information is important as it would determine the treatment option. In general, there are 3 forms of uterine fibroids, including submucosal, intramural, as well as subserosal. They are different in the location in the reproductive system. Therefore, the exact symptoms can vary. Subserosal fibroids are the most common conditions that account for up to 50% of reported cases. [3]
