Are there other places you can get fibroids other than your uterine? Yes, there are other places. Breast fibroids, also known as fibrocystic breast disease, fibroid breasts, mammary dysplasia, benign breast disease and diffuse cystic mastopathy, are benign (non-cancerous), moveable, rubbery nodules that cause painful swelling near the breast surface. For Uterine Fibroids, they are named depending on where they are located. Intramural Fibroids are located within the muscle layer of the womb. Subserosal fibroids are those that project out from the outer surface of the uterus. They can grow quite large, but do not typically affect the size of the womb cavity. They are more likely to produce pressure symptoms than heavy periods or infertility. Submucosal fibroids are the least common (5% of all fibroids). They project into the womb cavity and greatly disrupt its shape. They are the type most likely to cause fertility problems. Sometimes they grow into the uterus, filling it and even growing out of the cervix. Pedunculated fibroid - fibroids growing on a stalk, which is called a peduncle. This can be a subserosal pedunculated fibroid, growing on the outside of the uterus, or a submucosal fibroid, growing into the endometrial cavity. The stalk can get twisted which can cause severe pain, although this is extremely rare. I hope this helps. As with any medical condition, it is always best to consult your medical doctor in addition to doing your own research. For more research, you can look at the following websites.
