An intramural leiomyoma of the uterus is the most common type of uterine fibroid, developing within the muscular wall of the uterus. While many women experience no symptoms, larger fibroids can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, bloating, or pressure in the lower abdomen. In some cases, they may also affect fertility or pregnancy. Diagnosis typically involves a pelvic exam and imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI. Treatment depends on the size, location, and severity of symptoms and may include medication, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery to relieve discomfort and improve quality of life.
