Rationale for change

This describes the most common presentation, which would be asymptomatic. The most common symptom would be heavy menstraul bleeding. I think that this should be changed for clarity as "asymptomatic" is not technically a symptom.

Extra
- When present, symptoms include abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, and pelvic mass

Can be located on:
- Serosal surface of the uterus (subserosal)
- Within the uterine wall (intramural)
- Below the endometrium (submucosal)

- Fibroids in the posterior uterus can put pressure on the colon, leading to constipation

Uterine leiomyoma
Limited assessment possible as only one image is accessible: This image is of a transvaginal ultrasound, whereby the transducer is positioned near the cervix and the sound waves are sent cranially, resulting in a sagittal section of the uterine corpus (D) and cervix (C). The endometrium (A) lies central in the uterus and is termed endometrial stripe in ultrasound. There are three suspected myomas (B) in the myometrium, with both cranially located myomas heterogeneous and hypoechoic and the myoma at the bottom of the image demonstrating calcifications.
