Summary
Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are the most common benign tumors among women. Fibroids are
found in approximately 20% of women over 35 years of age. In 20-50% of patients, fibroids may
cause problems such as heavy menstrual bleeding, anemia, pelvic pain, pressure symptoms from
extrinsic compression of the colorectal and urinary tract. Surgery is indicated for
symptomatic uterine leiomyomas; hysterectomy for women who have completed childbearing (women
> 40 years old), and myomectomy for women <40 years old who wish to preserve uterus and
fertility.
