Fibroids are benign MUSCULAR tumors in the uterus, but how many types are there? Drop your answer from the video in the comments as I break them down in 60 seconds.

***Fibroids can be located in the cervix as well, but not commonly***

The location and size of fibroids significantly affects how your symptoms can present. We will discuss this on the next episode. Stay tuned!
