what is Submucous Fibroid

• A submucous fibroid, also known as a submucosal
  fibroid, is a type of uterine fibroid that
  develops within the muscular wall (myometrium) of
  the uterus and extends into the inner cavity
  (submucosa) of the uterus. Fibroids are
  noncancerous growths of the uterus, and submucous
  fibroids specifically grow in close proximity to
  the uterine lining. They can cause various
  symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding,
  prolonged periods, pelvic pain, and fertility
  issues. Depending on their size and location,
  submucous fibroids may interfere with fertility
  or pregnancy, as they can distort the uterine
  cavity or block the fallopian tubes.
