Do fibroids affect my ability to become pregnant and to have children?
The chief basis for fibroid tumors affecting fertility is location, location, location. Submucosal fibroids (located in the endometrial cavity of the uterus) have been shown to cause the greatest problems with conceiving and also have the strongest association with reduced rates in maintaining a pregnancy.
Different Types Of Fibroids
Fibroids are generally named based on their location in specific areas of the uterus. The symptoms that they cause are usually associated with their location.
