Prevalence of Uterine Fibroids in Different Age Groups of Women –a Random Population-based Study

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are the most common benign gynecological tumors in women of reproductive age worldwide. They cause heavy menorrhagia, usually leading to severe anemia, pelvic pain/pressure, infertility, and other debilitating morbidities. Fibroids are believed to be monoclonal tumors arising from the myometrium, and recent studies have demonstrated that fibroids actively influence the endometrium globally. Studies suggest a direct relationship between the number of fibroids removed and fertility problems.Uterine fibroids are the most common gynecological disorder, classically requiring surgery when symptomatic. Gynecologists now have new tools in opening up novel strategies for the management of uterine fibroids.
