A Complete Guide to Intramural Fibroids

An intramural fibroid is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor that grows within the muscular wall of the uterus, often going unnoticed at smaller sizes. These fibroids can cause symptoms such as heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, pelvic or lower back pain, and pressure on nearby organs depending on their size and location. They’re usually diagnosed through imaging tests like ultrasounds or MRIs. Treatments range from monitoring to procedures like Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), which is a minimally invasive option that shrinks fibroids while preserving the uterus. USA Fibroid Centers specializes in such treatment approaches for intramural fibroids.
