Fibroids are common and often harmless for fertility. Those distorting the cavity (submucosal) clearly reduce implantation and are usually removed; intramural fibroids are judged by size and position; subserosal fibroids rarely need surgery for fertility reasons.
Also known as: fibroids, myoma, leiomyoma
