A member asked:

Do all women with fibroids located inside the uterus have heavy and irregular bleeding, or do some women have no symptoms with submucosal fibroids?

Many have none: Many women with fibroids have no symptoms. Treatment should be based on symptoms and not simply the presence of fibroids. Many submucous fibroids can removed hysteroscopically -- a fairly simple day surgery procedure.

Most not all: Most patients with submucous fibroids have symptoms. A submucous fibrod not only causes pain and bleeding, it can also cause a woman to have difficulty getting pregnant. Submucous fibroids are located in the cavity of the uterus and can prevent pregnancy's just like a IUD does. Fortunatly, Submucous fibroids, are the easiest to remove, on an outpatient basis, with no scars or down time.
