Rarely, a fibroid can cause acute pain when it outgrows its blood supply, and begins to die. ... Intramural fibroids grow within the muscular uterine wall. Submucosal fibroids bulge into the uterine cavity. Subserosal fibroids project to the outside of the uterus.Although intramural fibroids, subserosal, and pedunculated fibroids may cause pain and discomfort, they generally do not affect fertility. However, if a fibroid is inside the uterine cavity (submucosal) or is larger than 6 cm in diameter, then it may impede conception.When women wish to preserve childbearing potential, a myomectomy may be performed. ... Fibroids that are in the wall or outer lining of the uterus (intramural and subserosal fibroids) can be removed either through an abdominal myomectomy or a laparoscopic approach.
