Conditions
Submucosal fibroids sit just under the lining and press into the cavity, where they interfere with implantation and cause heavy bleeding. They are the type most consistently linked with reduced fertility, and can usually be removed hysteroscopically through the cervix without an abdominal incision.
Also known as: intracavity fibroid
