1 Subserosal
Grow on the outer surface of the uterus. Can become very large and press on neighbouring organs, causing pelvic pressure and back pain.
2 Intramural
The most common type. Grow within the muscular wall of the uterus. Can enlarge the uterus and cause heavy bleeding and pelvic pain.
3 Submucosal
Less common but most symptomatic. Protrude into the uterine cavity. Strongly associated with heavy bleeding, anaemia, and infertility.
4 Pedunculated
Attached to the uterus by a thin stalk. Can twist on the stalk, causing acute pain. May be subserosal or submucosal in origin.
