Intra literally means inside, hence intramural fibroids are tumors planted inside the uterine wall. In this article I will be explaining the symptoms and fibroid treatment options available for this most common type of fibroids.
Intramural tumor grows inside the uterine wall resulting in the uterus feeling and looking larger. This can make the woman look pregnant, or have a pot belly which will not go away despite dieting or exercise.
The common symptoms of this type of tumor include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Pain in the Pelvic region and back
- Frequent urination
- May be responsible for infertility and miscarriages
- Pressure in the bladder and uterus
Based on whether the intramural fibroids are close to the outside of the uterus or the endometrium, the symptoms will be similar to submucosal or subserous fibroids.
In extreme cases if the size of these fibroids is large, it may block the blood supply, oxygen and nutrients to other body organs like kidneys. In some patients very large intramural fibroids may also cause permanent damage to the kidneys.
Medical research has indicated that this type of fibroid can have a negative impact on the woman’s fertility and result in miscarriages. Woman with this problem are also at a greater risk of undergoing premature delivery or a caesarean.
Intramural uterine fibroid treatment options are:
1. Abdominal myomectomy is the most common intramural fibroid treatment option. This treatment is particularly recommended if
a) The size of the fibroids are more 5 or 7 centimeters, or
b) There are multiple fibroids which need to be removed.
- Uterine Artery Embolization is the second fibroids treatment option which can be considered.
Women with fibroids normally respond extremely well to natural remedies. This is true in case of intramural fibroids also. In rarest of cases where the fibroids can be life threatening or the symptoms severe, it would be worthwhile to pursue surgery or hormonal uterine fibroid treatment option. In all other cases fibroid cures is possible with natural remedies. In my opinion you should first give a try to natural methods to shrink your fibroids.

Large uterine fibroid tumors?Did anyone who had large fibroid tumors in uterus successfully go another route than surgery to deal with the problem of pain, etc. My gyne told me my uterus has doubled in size since Januaary, I have two large fibroids, and there is no other option than partial hysterectomy.
