Abstract

The incidence of cervical fibroids is 0.5-1%. It is usually single; they are usually confined to supravaginal portion of the cervix. Rarely it becomes submucous and polypoidal. So it is usually subserous or interstitial. It can be anterior, posterior or central in position. We had different types of cervical fibroids of which we will describe a few. Usually cervical fibroids cause infertility, difficulty in labor, infections, metrorrhagia, menorrhagia, constipation, retention of urine and dyspareunia. The cervical fibroid distorts the shape of cervix and grows bigger. It pushes the uterus upward giving the appearance of lantern of Saint Paul's dome in a case of a central cervical fibroid. Most of the patients in the reproductive age get admitted for menorrhagia due to fibroid. Its growth is dependent on estrogen. It does not grow after menopause.
