Uterine fibroids can be classified based on their location in the uterus:
- Submucosal fibroids: These fibroids grow beneath the lining of the uterus and can cause heavy bleeding.
- Intramural fibroids: These fibroids grow within the muscle wall of the uterus.
- Subserosal fibroids: These fibroids grow on the outside of the uterus.
